I am a Christian. Hopefully people can tell from my actions. Sure, I'm working through stuff, so not everything checks out just yet. I've screwed up, I'll admit it. But I've watched Christians my entire life, taking mental notes about behavior amongst other Christians and also those of other religions. I have a bit of a knack for psychology and sociology, so my observations can be held to some standard. And this is all generalities, I understand not everyone is like this, just a big enough population to notice and categorize.
Anyways, I've noticed something. Christians are so obsessed with looking good in front of God, that they forget to look at themselves from the worlds perspective. Yes, we need to be set apart, but that shouldn't be because everyone else despises us. I know so many non-Chrisians that won't hang out with Christians because they're so stuck up. With our focus in truth and being set apart, I think we might forget that we're supposed to be an example of love, when all we talk about is the shortcomings of others. Also, why should we hold the rest of the world to our standards? We would be offended if a Muslim man forced me to wear a hijab, but find it acceptable to force others to conform to our laws. Enough ranting for today. Feel free to discuss, all 4 of you who read this... :)
