Christian Reputations...

I like to watch the show "Law&Order" every now and then. It is full of convincing actors and suspenseful stories. But sometimes there are criminals on the show that are "Christians." These murderers claim to have killed because God told them to. Every single episode that I have seen with "Christian" characters ends with the "Christian" locked up in the end. The people say some things that make Christianity look like a disease. They make Christians appear as crazy people who kill others who refuse to follow God's law. I just recently watched an episode where a man killed his mother because he believed that she would be forgiven of her sins by dying. His pastor encouraged this and it was later revealed that the pastor had been telling children to kill those who aren't Christians. I hate to think that this is our reputation. To think that this is how the world sees us.
