123. The Word "Christian"
has come to represent a political agenda rather than a statement of ones personal faith. And the two are not necessarily consistent.

Your personal faith is your choice and your responsibility.

If you choose to be Christian you ought then to live a life that is consistent with and advocates Christian principles. Among those being your brother's keeper and not judging others. Even Scripture states that all of the law can be summed up as "love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and spirit and love your neighbor as yourself."

There really are very few things more offensive than folks who violate these basic Christian teachings, maliciously hurt others and feel justified because they are acting in God's name. Makes me feel sorry for God.
