Let me set this situation up for you. I have gone to a Christian school for my entire life, and until I dared to enter the outside world I never realized what was wrong with the picture presented to me. No, I do believe in God. With everything in me I believe my Savior lived died and lived again. What rushes in to my awareness now is the fact that so many Christians are hypocrites.
The Bible tells us to love one another, but when you look at any controversial video on YouTube, the Christians are dishing out the insults just like any other person. I do see that maybe they are trying to bring people over to Christianity, but my Science teacher said it best last year, "The way to bring someone over to your side does not usually include calling them a retard." So, hypocrites bug me. And when I see a person nodding their head in church when the pastor calls for us to love one another, when that morning they were cussing someone out on myspace, somehow the image just does not sit right. The right to love does not end at the boundaries between religions, loving is universal. Truth is universal. Respect is universal in some form or another. People other than Christians manage not to respect these things too. But when a person knows the God they live for calls for love and they give hate anyway, something has gone seriously wrong.
