It's more than true "in a way." Your own post said 90%.

Not committed Christians, otherwise they wouldn't be molesters.

They're lapsed Christians at the very best, but definetly not committed, that's ludicrous.

Which is why priests have been arrested for it.

Stupid, stupid post.

Yes the 90 % was from Megans Law. My experiences just supported it.

So, in other words, who "is" and "isn't" a "Christian" is defined strictly by the Religious Right?

I'm not making you do anything, I can't that anti Christian.

However, according to polling data most Christians in this country disagree with your view.

So call yourself a Christian, if it builds your self esteem or boosts your self confidence or whatever.

And Christians in other countries disagree with you.

So you're saying since Philly doesn't fit into your box of Christianity he really isn't a Christian? He's just calling himself one to boost his self esteem?

Your personal attacks are getting tiresome. How have you not been banned yet?

Apparently, I'm only using Christian as a title for self-esteem.

Diamond, your condescending view is unbelievable, especially for someone terribly misinformed and ignorant.

People who attend a Church, calling themselves Christian and harm children are Christians in name only.

You can fool people, but not God.

Obviously.

It's very interesting. If it doesn't fit, he is not a Christian. Who cares that the same person is praying every evening, reading the bible, going to church on Sunday...
He doesn't fit the description, so he can't be a Christian.

Or, apparently, people who don't agree with every view of Christianity too.

Or at least you.

This is their favourite pasttime.

But hey when evangelicals start calling Mormons kooky nutbags, then that's a BAD and INTOLERANT thing.

They were arrested for it because they broke the law, regardless of their Church affliation or attendence.

I feel like I'm dialoguing with a 12 year old.

You're back on Ignore.

Something the Christain Right doesan't like to think about: http://www.alternet.org/columnists/story/8695/

Journalists might also ask Gingrich about Smith's stepfather, Beverly Russell.

But Susan Smith attempted suicide at age 13, and at age 15 told authorities that her stepdad had been sexually molesting her for at least a year. Her mother helped talk her out of pursuing charges against Russell. (At age 18, she attempted suicide again.)
The child-abuse case against the well-connected businessman smells of a cover-up. It's not known exactly how long the molestation went on, because the case file mysteriously vanished. And Susan Smith was not even represented in court by a lawyer or guardian, as required for minors.
The social-service worker who investigated the molestation testified at the murder trial that although Russell admitted the abuse and agreed to seek counseling, she was "concerned" that law enforcement closed the case so quickly.
Whatever counseling Russell underwent had little impact. The murder trial revealed that he was still having sex with his stepdaughter as recently as two months before she killed her kids.

I remember this part of the case vividly. No one liked to talk about it, but it was mentioned in more than one source at the time.

Well, your debating skills aren't that much more mature.

You're the one who brought Church affiliation into the argument in the first place!

No. You are dialoguing with a 16 year old who's got his head on a lot straighter than yours.

He doesn't fit the description, so he can't be a Christian.

The only description of a christian I know is one that believes in Christ. If the man that murdered Jessica repents his sins and believes in Christ in his last days, he'll be seeing you heaven.

No one says you have to be blue, yellow or orange to be a christian.

But if you're a repentant child-killer, you're good to go.
