But it should be re-worded. "Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven, so don't expect them to be anything special, or more trustworthy."

So we should always factor that Christians lie into our relations. Often, if you care and pay attention, they lie to support their belief system. That has to be factored into their belief system too, as to entire validity.

What you say, awareness, is true, but incomplete. Yes, Christians can lie and cheat and steal. I have tasted this first hand. I have seen one I love become no different than a Judas. What I went thru was literally worse than murder.

But there is more to the story. Shall I also give you all my horror stories of unbelievers who have wronged me? Unbelievers who have lied, cheated, stolen, deceived, cussed me out, discredited me, punched me out, etc. I'll still take the children of God any day of the week.

When I read your story about Mel P getting in your face about you asking permission what to think, I chuckle. Is that all you suffered? Sure it is insulting, but I have been thru worse things at work. That's just how life is sometimes. And now we have the grace of God!

Harold, you have to stop this habit of generalizing. Everything you say is a generalization.

That's a joke, son.

Funny!

I sold a house and took the money to the bank. The agent asks me and wifey for SSN, photo driver's license, mother's maiden name, checks our credit history, yada, yada.

So I looked at the manager in wonder and said, "I am putting $250k in your bank, and you want all that info on me, and I don't even know your name! I want to check your SSN, photo driver's license, mother's maiden name, credit history, etc."

He laughs and said, "you know the patriot act has changed everything."

"I still want to hold your driver's license."
