    I don't think so. I'm a Christian and I sometimes take the bait and get all riled up and sometimes I just laugh my a$$ off at the other Christians, who, like my dumb-butt took the bait.

    We have control over our emotions and can choose what battles to pick. If we do get worked up over your bait--then its our own dumb faults.

    I have an agnostic friends, and we rib the crap out of eachother. He calls me a sheep, I tell him he's going to hell. But we are friends. I pray for him, and he doesn't take it personal.

    Have a great 4th.

    Trying to hurt anyone is immoral, whether they're Jews,Christians, Muslims or anyone else. Anyway I think you know the answer. There are so many angry people who are quite willing to blame their rage on some other group when it's nothing to do with that group. Try to see past your indoctrination (very difficult I know. Easier to play the blame game) Use your intelligence and think for yourself and you'll make the world a better place!

    No. Sin is a motivational tool only, not an actuality. Dismiss christianity/organized religion as the fallacy it is and sin becomes nonessential social control tactic.

    I think it could be depending on what they were being baited for. I am not a christian so I don't really know it is just a guess.

    To those that think they are baiting Christians be asking vile and foolish questions I say this;

    Ask away.

    As a Christian Pastor I will choose whether or not your question even deserves an answer.

    When I do answer I will give you a truthful answer and one to the best of my ability.

    Offend me, I think not.

    You only offend yourself and GOD.

    Ro 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

    Ro 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

    Ro 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

    Ro 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

    Baiting Christians is probably a good thing to do. It gives us a chance to have a dialogue with you, and possibly jostle your closed minds and hearts.

    It is fun to "Bait" Christians! Espacially when they get that "Holier Than Thou" attitude and start judging your deeds in life. That is when the Bible starts getting quoted by them..... but, I like to quote it, too...... just to disprove their quotes. Quite entertaining actually! They usually leave with a sense of insignificance.

    I hope not. If it is I'm definitely going to Hell.

    But assuming the Christian doctrine is correct, I would seriously doubt it. Even in the worst (or best) case, if you cause someone to renounce their faith in God, that would be their choice and I still don't think it would count against you.
