My response:
Just because you call yourself this or that, doesn't make it so. If you are spewing hatred from your lips and preaching violence... you are not a Christian. I can call myself the Pope, doesn't make it true. The truth is in your words AND your actions. Not one, or the other. BOTH!
I am very sad that there are those that say they are Christian but don't live it, or at least try. I know it's hard to walk the walk. We will never live up to the example Jesus gave us... but if you really ARE a Christian, you try your absolute hardest! And threatening others, spreading hatred, etc. is not being Christian. I don't care what religion, or anti-religion, you subscribe to ... it is always WRONG to hurt others because they are different from you. It's called being HUMAN. We are all different in what we believe, the way we look, act, feel and live our life and there isn't a person out there that is perfect. It is never our place to judge anyone or to cause harm. It makes me so sad that folks hide behind the bible, or at the other end of the spectrum, hide behind their disbelief of the bible, as a reason to hurt others. I see Christians, non Christians, men, woman, kids... folks from every walk of life really, pointing fingers... slinging hateful words.... physically hurting others because they have different beliefs. It's just WRONG. I don't care who you are, it's wrong. And I see it in many areas... religion, race, lifestyle, those with disabilities, those who are educated and those who aren't, those who choose to have large families or those that keep their family small... it's out of hand and it needs to STOP!
You hit the nail on the head. Wish more Christians were like you!
