That Christianity is a preference, a choice.<br \/>\nYou don't say eating is a preference, do you?<\/p>\n<p>2. Anyone who calls himself\/herself a Christian, is a Christian.<br \/>\nYou don't believe I am a sandwich, do you?<\/p>\n<p>3. Christians are homophobic, racists, discriminating bigots.<br \/>\nSuccessful abolition of virtually all various bigoted practices are initiated and inspired by Christians, though there are fringes of wannabes from time to time, but merely wannabes nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>4. God only loves and forgives. He does not hate, punish, etc. or else He is not God.<br \/>\nIf that is so, I supposed a coin that has both a head and a tail is not a coin.<\/p>\n<p>5. Sin is doing something that is hurtful to others.<br \/>\nSaying that is already hurtful to some.<\/p>\n<p>6. Christianity is against science, open thinking.<br \/>\nThose who advocate this already, certainly, admire a lot of Christian scientists, so I'll give them a short break here.<\/p>\n<p>7. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc. are not mutually exclusive.<br \/>\nIs this statement mutually exclusive?<\/p>\n<p>8. Christians think themselves sinless.<br \/>\nThis is often used by those who wish to find a way out of their own faults. But one's hypocrisy is not an excuse for another to follow.<\/p>\n<p>9. Christians are nice.<br \/>\nThis is a bit insulting. It is better to be good and kind, since the original meaning of nice is foolishness.<\/p>\n<p>10. Christians share the Gospel\/convert others for their own gain, power, wealth, etc.<br \/>\nDespite many unfortunate convincing experiences, the truth that debunks this, if any, however hindered, must certainly be more precious than anything else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
