    Instead of jumping to conclusions about what christianity is, why not actually read the Bible and then decide for yourself? Pick a vice or bad character trait and I'll find you a christian that has it. It's a good thing that's not the standard by which christians are measured.

    Disconnect your television. Do your own research. Draw your own conclusions. They're probably lying. Don't be a sheep.
