The Gospel, Christians and Acts

In my life I think I have met less than a handful of people that I would consider to be Christian.Very few people that I have met come anywhere near the example that Jesus promotes in the NT, and I tutored many trainee Church of Scotland ministers for 3 years at the university of Glasgow.In my opinion, there are many more athiests who act more Christlike than those who profess to being a Christian.Most of the 'Christians' I have met here at EvC are too filled with hate to be considered Christian. Buz, Iano, Jaywill, Ray, and others simply are not Christians, they have no compassion at all for anyone and are more into gimmicks than Jesus' teachings.I still attend church services quite a lot and, because of my job and research interests, I come in to contact with many Christians and within minutes of speaking to almost all of them it is easy to realise that they really are not Christian at all.It is pretty well-know that stats say there are around 2 billion Christians in the world today. I would say that this figure is nowhere near the true amount.We are told in Leviticus 19:18 that: [i] Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.Then Jesus reinforces this in the NT in Matthew 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. If everyone, not only Christians, followed this teaching then life would be much easier for everyone.Of course this teaching is not unique to Christianity, and other much older faiths promote this too. But how many religious people actually follow this teaching when we see so much bickering within faiths and so much hatred between faiths?Thank God I'm an atheist.

Because atheists have far higher moral standards than Christians.

But there's no way to discover who the Father loves.

I have to say thank you.... best night's sleep I've had in years.
