Are we giving false impressions of various ideas through this forum?

Time and time again, I see people blaming Christians for things that are not the ways of Christ. While many of these opinions must have been formed from personal experience with "Christians," I can't help but think that many are formed through insipid answers on this board by people who are either on the fringes of "Christianity," who do not represent the real teachings of Christ or who are people trying to discredit Christians.

For example, the following link (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=200706... seems to me to be an obvious satire by a non-Christian. But the responses, for the most part, take this person seriously. Those who do take it seriously are going to have just another piece of "evidence" for how horrible Christians are.

    That is why I stick around here... there are, form time to time, honest seekers who come on here... and they quickly leave when they see how it really is... I try to catch as many as I can and offter an email connection so that they can ask their questions concerning the Christian Faith without the trash and filth responses.

    Who are you to decide who's real and who's not? Almost every christian out there has a different interpretation. They all believe they have the only correct viewpoint.

    Which is why they're ALL screwed up.

    Probably. Christians demand empirical proof of everything non Christian from people calling themselves Atheists, like not believing in god, somehow gives you Stephen Hawking like mental abilities.

    Probably because those Christians you are speaking of give us so much real life material to work with.

    By there fruits you shall know them applies just as much to the God that is worshipped as to its followers. If the followers of Jesus are doing evil then they must be following an evil God.
