The way the god of Abraham seems to be portrayed in the Old Testament, he's rather like a young child. Hot tempered, throwing tantrums, sticking close to his friends and giving them the better candy, etc...
Anywho, humans are imperfect creatures, but the sheer amount of non-Christian-like Christians is absolutely astounding!
And, of course, you have the actual non-Christians claiming Christianity. I mentioned the ass in Kansas, already, Fred Phelps. If you don't know who he is, he's the dick who was having his cult minions picket soldier funerals... He used to just picket gay funerals, but that wasn't getting him enough press. He runs a website called godhatesfags.com, and has vehemently stated that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were sent by God because America is accepting homosexuality.
... He is a man who tests the absolute tolerance that I am trying to develop as a budding Buddhist, I swear.
And of course you have those whack jobs who decide to "marry" little girls... What annoys me most about them is that they seem to like to claim Mormonism as their basis, but it just goes to show how ignorant of the religion they are. But because they publicly say they are Mormon and that's why their pedophilic polygamy is okay, it sheds an awful light on a tradition that is already under undue scrutiny.
