What I object to is Christians who adopt attitudes which are directly opposed to what Christ taught and consistently and arrogantly misrepresent the teachings of Christ to the rest of the world in that way, thus giving Christianity a bad name.
I know everyone makes mistakes and has slip ups in terms of behavior. I'm not talking about that. I don't know if you saw this movie, but the scene that I was referring to involved people who made a point of the fact that they were Christian, but who acted in such a way that it was obvious it was their practice to treat others they deemed less worthy as if they'd never heard of three of the most basic tenets of Christian faith:
1) Judge not, lest ye be judged
2) Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you
3) Love your neighbor as yourself.
I have nothing against Christians or Christianity. In fact, when it's practiced as Jesus taught it should be practiced, I'm all for it.
