Thank God this doesn't apply to the Catholic Church!

I know many, many Christians who devote their entire lives to being "Christ like." They live below poverty in orderto be "Christ like."

And even if they didn't, so what? Your problem is that every outspoken Christian is Pat Robertson to you. When you see the word "Christian" you see in your head an old man in a suit banging his secretary on a desk over a few lines of cocaine. THAT is the anomaly, not the other way around.

Plus, your argument that people aren't really practicing Christians because they aren't like Christ tells me that you lack a fundamental understanding of Christianity. There can't be redemption without fucking up. Church isn't a place for saints, it's a place for sinners. And according to God, that's all of us.
