TR>Lets see if I can explain this in a way that will get through to you
TR>on some level:



TR>A `lot' of people *claim* Christianity as `their' way of life. Many
TR>of them are *not* really `Christians at all.

Yeah, they refuse to burn witches.


TR>There are also a lot of people who *claim* to be doctors. But they
TR>aren't.

Oh really? Claiming means nothing. You need a DEGREE!


TR>A lot of people *claim* to have done things in the military service.
TR>But they didn't.

Liars exist, true. 


TR>A lot of people *claim* to have seen things while they were in the
TR>military. But they really never did see what they claim to have seen.

That's only up to them and "reality".

TR>Unlike the last examples.......Christianity is sometimes a social
TR>`coat' which a person will take on and off at their `convenience',
TR>depending on who and what they're trying to impress at the time.

Like you.

TR>A real good example of that would be Bill Clinton;

Not really. Prez Clinton doesn't preach.


TR>In the midst of his `Monica-gate' woes, when his impeachment was on
TR>the verge of becoming a reality, and a Senate trial was in the
TR>offing.....he suddenly does a `photo op' on the steps of a church
TR>surrounded by ministers, with a bible tucked under his arm!

Everyone sins.

TR>You have to wonder where this bible of his was when Monica was
TR>`honkin' his horn'! Where was his `Christianity' then!

That's a personal thing.

TR>Another real good example would be a criminal who is in prison for a
TR>long sentence, who comes up before the parole board about one third
TR>of the way through their sentence.


TR>If the sentence is 15 years and they've done about five, it sure
TR>would be nice to get out and not have to do that remaining 10 years
TR>behind bars.


TR>Suddenly, a few months before the parole hearing.......they `find the
TR>Lord'! An amazing conversion  to Christianity takes place! Is it
TR>`real'? Who really knows. But it looks good to the parole board. Do
TR>they `fall' for it? Sometimes they do. And a dangerous criminal is
TR>let loose who saw how easy it is to pull the wool over the heads of a
TR>parole board in some states!


TR>Is `everyone' who *claims* to be a `Christian' really a Christian?

Who cares? 

What if the person were a Moslem?

TR>No. Any more than everyone who *claims* to be a doctor is a `real'
TR>doctor. Any more than everyone who *claims* to have witnessed many
TR>crashes of aircraft when they were `in' the military, really `saw'
TR>any. Any more than everyone who *claims* to have worked on Warthogs
TR>in the USAF, really `worked' on one.

Yep...never believe any Christian!!!!
I agree!

Christians are LIARS!
