You can't judge all christians because of a small group. That would be like saying I hate all white or black people, just because of all the idiots you see on TV and Youtube.

I think there is a popular interpretation of what Christianity should be all about, but that has changed with time.
The gospels are up for interpretation. I dont think there is a only one way to read them.
It could be argued that these people are doing what they believe to be right according to the bible.
One one hand Christianity is about forgiveness, not being judgemenatal, and loving everyone, on the other hand Christians have to promote 'Christian values' and protest same sex marriage, abortion clinics, stem cell research, etc.
If they think Islam is turning people away from Jesus, then isnt it fair they are protesting Muslim prayers?
Im just saying its difficult to judge people on whether they are being 'truly' Christian or not.

Definitely wrong. Christ hated the Jews who were persecuting him during his ministry. He didn't love them or even want to convert them.
My point is that the Christian religion is followed by many different people in quite different ways.
Im not sure there is a absolute translation and core message, and Jesus's opinions on our modern society is unknown. Its difficult to relate such a mysterious book to modern politics and our society.
The religion is quite separate to the man. (if he existed).

Those christians r jst being idiots....the majority of them are fine and peaceful people
Also from your other 2 posts...i agree....Alot of religion comes from interpretation....so 2 people could read a holy book and do things completely different...but thats why we have the leaders of the religions to show the correct way...or best way they think it should be followed
