I was wondering if it's ok for me to start a Lying For Jesus Award of the Month thread each month.

I have no problem with lying for darwin award.
And for the record, this is a serious question. I'm not trying to be funny. A member here who I have respected in the past has shown his true face by lying over and over again. Whether he is suffering from some kind of delusion or he is consciously making the decision to lie in hope of buying a ticket to heaven, I would very much like to nominate him for the lying for jesus award of the month.

Re: Not just in really bad taste but stupid as well
How so? Right now, there is nothing you can do if the other person you're talking to is lying.
Look at it this way. The person who I want to nominate for the lying for jesus award will probably lay low for a few days. After a few days, everyone will forget about how he lied and he becomes a respected member again. He can go back and say how good of a person he is again and how many people he is helping in the name of christ.
If they are willing to flat out lie, what's wrong with having a lying for jesus award?

I'm not calling a christian a sinner, since obviously I don't believe in the concept of sin. I'm calling a christian (who represents the rest of you christians) a liar.
Reading comprehension problem here?

Re: Who represents who?
Why not give us a link so we can examine it?
Speaking of which, I was just curious about the whole "silent majority" as people like you often refer to the bulk of christianity. I decided to type in different search categories in google. Here are the following results.
Anti-gay Christian Groups gives top results 1 - 100 of about 46,300 English pages.
Pro-gay Christian Groups gives top results of 1-7 of 17 english pages.
christians anti-same-sex marriage gives top page of 1-100 out of 14,400 English pages.
Christians pro-same-sex marriage gives top page of 1-100 out of 708 English pages.
I have been searching for any evidence of this "silent majority" for quite some time now but haven't been able to find any evidence for it. Where would you suggest I should look?

All I can do is protest.
I'm curious about something. While I was in college, I saw plenty of christian protests against gays and such on our campus. Never once did I see any christian protest against the bigotted christians or the televangelist conmen. There usually was a student protest countering these protesting christians. And guess what, all of these student protesters were either gay or atheist students. In other words, not once did the student christian groups speak out against these "other christians".
I drive by many church signs everday. Why is it that I always see bigotted church signs rather than signs against bigotry or televangelist conmen?
Why is it that christians like you always say that you speak out and protest against religious conmen and yet I've never actually see any example? Or is this one of those silent majority thing again?
It's not that I'm saying all you christians are bad. What I'm saying is from my perspective as an outsider it seems like 99% of christianity agree with all the crap televangelists preach and the other 1% always proclaim that there is a "silent majority" out there.

Re: Who represents who?
So, in other words, you support the christians that go around from city to city and campus to campus protesting against non-christians?
The main point isn't about bigotry against gays. The main point is how come I never see christian protests against televangelist conmen and their ilk? How come the only protests I ever see christians do are protests against gays and non-christians? How come I never see words like "love thy neighbor" or "beware of false prophets" on church boards? How come I always see words like "gays go to hell" and all that shit on church boards?
I'm speaking as an outsider. Even though people from time to time say that "we're not all like that", it sure looks to me like 99% of you ARE like that.
