(419 posts)The real kind. The kind I meet have never ventured into the New Testament and I'm not sure why they call themselves Christians at all. They're sure Jesus is too 'woke'.
When somebody identifies as Christian publicly, it's almost a dead certainty that they're a TaliBaptist or the like (whatever term you prefer). I run from them as fast and as far as I can. I can't trust them. If I can't make myself into their model, they will do whatever they can to change or destroy me. And I can't make myself into their model. So, as soon as 'Christian' escapes their lips (or makes it onto their label), I'm out of there.
I don't mean to offend any real Christians (as I define them, e.g. Jesus followers). But the trust just isn't there. It's basic self-defense. And I'll be damned if I'll give them any of my money.
