So many are quick to stereotype Christianity into the negative they see on TV or portrayed in Hollywood. A lot of cases show that the "hatred" that some Christians portray deems a hatred for Christianity as well. As hypocritical as we may be seen as, that is every bit of hypocritical.
For some reason Christians are stereotyped as supposed to be perfect. If you are not perfect, then obviously you are not a good Christian. If we had the ability to be perfect, then we would have no need for Christ in our lives. Salvation through our faith in Christ seals us with the Holy Spirit. God actually takes up residence inside the believer to guide him to righteousness. This guidance helps nudge us in the right direction, not take over. The more we step aside, the more God can take over. Our failures are inevitable... but that is what grace is for.
The ideal attitude of a Christian is to allow Christ to be seen in their lives. Not in a prideful spotlight, but in a humble realization that anything good that I am capable of is because of God's help. A good Christian will know that he needs Christ every step of every day, and knows to turn to Christ when he does fail. That is a far cry from what is portrayed out there... even to the point to where we seem to be comparable to a radical Islam. Thanks, Rosie! *sigh*
