Why are Christians so quick to claim that someone who has achieved something good is a Christian?
But when a Christian does something evil, Christians are quick to say, “Oh, he wasn’t a true Christian.” Is this more Christian “honesty”?
A true Christian is someone who follows Christ, and has accepted Him as their Lord and Savior. Too many people slap on the Christian label, but don’t really bother to really practice it. Now to answer you’re question, I have never said that. Everyone slips up time to time, some more often than others. Even born again Christians. The main difference is a true Christian will always go back to God, repent, and feel sorry for your sins. Why do Atheists always assume the Bible is full of crap, even though they haven’t read it. Judging a whole group is just dumb. I very well know that not all atheists assume so, and some may have even read the Bible.

Just like they worshiped Ted Faggard and claimed he was the best Christian on the planet until they found out he was a gay crack head – then they kicked him out and said he wasn’t a Christian.
A combination of cherry picking and no true Scotsman.

No
YOU are ALWAYS quick to claim that anyone who has achieved something good is atheist.
Why is that?
Oh, I know! It is because you are a hypocrite.

I think it’s that line in their book about how evil atheists are. "There is none that doeth good", or whatever it is. Therefore, if someone is seen doing good, he can’t possibly be an unbeliever, can he? So, they happily assume he’s one of their own. And if one of their own is caught doing bad, well "He musta been a closet atheist er one o’ them devil worshipers!" It’s a very simplistic, black/white sort of mindset, in my experience. They’re like children, really, but significantly less adorable.

Try this:
God is the author of evil
Lam 3:38/ Jer 18:11/ Is 45:7/ Amos 3:6/ Ezek 20:25
And here’s your complete contradiction:
God is not the author of evil
1 Cor 14:33/ Deut 32:4/ James 1:13
It’s up to us to decide how to classify it, considering that there is no god and religion is just a hoax.

You are very quick to attack ALL religious people every day, and you refuse to admit that they do more good than you have ever done or will ever do with your attitude and your bigoted viewpoint.
Why is that?
I think you need psychological/psychiatric help.

The simple truth is that everyone even Christians make mistakes, and judging them would be like judging yourself. If we looked at every person and judged them because they did something wrong then we’d be doing exactly what they think we are. Be quick to listen and Slow to judge.

Many Christian Organization and Other religious leader spending Billions of Dollar to Poor & Unqualified unorganized Hindus, just to convert their religion but no body is really helping the Hindu society, The most oldest and original civilization. I just wanted to remind the all religious people, if Hinduism is destroyed (i.e. not saved) no body will be saved in long term because other communities are not tolerant and a final world war will take place. I have return back to my Hindu faith again but I do not know my other brothers & Sisters are coming back or not. I have sympathy with YSR but still his family has choice………. God may help all Humanity.
