Bad Religious People

[GoodRain]

There are people who do bad things in every walk of life and shouldnt be given a pass just because they are of a certain religion. If a muslim does something bad they are presented as 100% Muslim by the media and society.
If a Budhist does something most likely they are presented as a 100% Budhist by the American media and society. The same goes for peoploe of all African religions and mostly every other religious and spiritual thought. But when it comes to a Christian doing something wrong they get a free pass by Americans with a bundle of excuses like they meant well, they are not true Christians, they had a troubled up bringing, they were into a cult, etc. The really bad deeds of Christians probably goes into the trillions. Why do they get a free pass. Saddamm Husein and Ben Ladin are no doubt 100% Muslim.
But the KKK, skinheads, Bush, and any everyday Christian that commits a bad crime cant be a true Christian. There are reasons for that hippocracy and they dont have good intentions for you.

Well...this is how I was raised/taught...
To confess/believe that Jesus is the only begotton son of God.... would make you a Christian.
SO, if you were not "religious"...and you just so happened to read about Jesus Christ and was just blown away and believed everything you read... YOU would be considered a Christian.....

Everything else, like to imitate Christ..., is implied.

I think of it like that with the backwards people of that faith.

Jesus was a human and had divine power...
he could move things, control nature, heal people...
They follow those ideas... sure enough they believe that Jesus is the son of God and also they believe that they can do as he did, and become what he was...they want to duplicate him for the wrong reasons.
I think they relate themselves with him because he was an all powerful human and that would make them almost equal to be his affiliate.

Also, 33% of the worlds population is Christian...the most popular religion..
so many things are excused and accepted and tolerated by the media and stuff.

If the media is ran by a group of individuals who are Christian,....and Christians are the most popular and dominant and perfect religion..., it would be upon their interest to make any other religion look bad. Even if it is by popularizing the few over and over again... constantly baggering them and provoking them in different secret ways and playing their reactions over a broadcast...... kinda like editing a tape.

Kinda how yt do Afrika.. only show the poverty. Or how they do us in amerikkka, showing ghettos, sex, drugs, prisons... popularize people for the wrong reasons and in the wrong ways....that would surely make them look better.

the doctrine that all you have to do is believe something and your'e cool is anti spiritual to me.I know that i have payed and will pay for the wrong i've done.No one else.I don't believe jesus died for the wrong i have done.So i walk and act a certain way.People who think jesus' dying will clear them from punishment just cuz they believe it, committ sins for that reason..its like saying you get a free pass cuz its covered.Covered by the blood.Go kill rape destroy..its on jesus..he paying the bill.

The idea that there are actually people going around not believing in something or a creator is nothing but a bunch of crap promoted by ignorant religious people. They may be called atheists because they dont consider themselves part of an organized religion or may just want to maintain extreme endeavors. The whole point is its not possible for a living being to not bow down to a greater entity.
