I just don't get it. The point is to try to live your life as Christ-like as you can, right? And then they leave church and basically go about their lives acting like the anti-Christ. 

I never once heard my Pastor ever say live like Christ. 

He would tell you what the Bible says you should do. Talk about sin. Talk about how Christ forgives IF you believe in him. He died for your sins…. And you owe him a debt.

But the idea that you should be Christ like was never the main message.

And that’s to me IS American evangelicals.

They believe in church rules. They believe that because of their belief in the rules that they’ll be forgiven when they don’t follow the rules.

The rest of the folks who don’t believe in the rules? They’re going to hell. They’re lost. until they’re on the team? They’re the devil and enemy.

So no. The idea isn’t to be Christ like. It’s to be on team Christian and try to get everyone on team Christian. And resist everything not team Christian

Makes sense. Don’t try to emulate your lord and savior.

For real though, even Fox has to fire Kilmeade for that... right? I put it in the Trump thread but MSNBC just fired a guy for saying hate speech is bad.

WTF kind of backwards upside down world have we found ourselves in?
