I'm not even Christian, but yes, CHRISTIANS are that one special group of people on Earth that have a set of values, an actual set of values in the traditional sense mind you, that may require abstinence of some sort of, self control, conviction, actual sacrifice, that they fail to live up to. You have this on lockdown. I don't know why you didn't post some charts and graphs, made using your own experiments, using a sophisticated series of models and equations, to show which people most closely follow their beliefs, religious, personal, or otherwise, to the letter, but I'll take your word for it.

Thanks for the outrageous, but not at all surprising shit-take, VGChartz moderator the-pi-guy!

I don't know what post you read. I wasn't calling out Christians as being all the bad guys in the room or something. Christians hold a lot of power in the US in particular, and padib brought them up, so I was talking about how they could do better and how they're not innocent of all of those things padib was excusing himself from.

And I say that as someone who has been a Christian most of their life. 

You think Christians hold a lot of power? What? Where? In the US? What?! Is your TV square shaped? Am I communicating with someone from the 50's via a time portal? OK, that's your interpretation on the current balance of power in the US. I do not agree, but really appreciate your demeanor here. It's what's keeping me from a ban. So, hats off, because my post was pretty aggro.

I can't help but wonder how you've come to this conclusion though. Let's take a trip up north. We'll leave the US for later. Are you aware of how many Christian places of worship, also known as churches, have been razed in the last 2 years in Canada? Are you aware of how the Canadian government has responded to these attacks? Do you know how many arrests were made? We can go through the numbers, and then talk some more about the balance of power as it concerns Christians. But before all that, how is one supposed to interpret this:

"Maybe there would be less degradation of Christian values if Christians actually did half of what they're supposed to believe in."

As:

"I wasn't calling out Christians as being all the bad guys in the room or something."

OK, fine. Not on me though. Bad wording I guess.
