I understand the reasoning they have for leaving Christianity it it isn't because they were never born again or because they were to weak or that the enemy had fooled them into abandoning Christ. I noticed that Christians are labeled number one on the list of five reasons and for good reason.Did you know that world doesn't hate us because of who and what we stand for rather they hate us because of what we claim to stand for and yet show anything but that? Christians are not known for being love, they are not known for being a light upon the world nor are they known for anything that we claim to stand for. We are known as judgmental hypocritical fake unloving bible thumpers and for good reason too. The world is actually a very good mirror for the face of the church we who call ourselves love, we who claim to be ones who through Christ show kindness patience hope and undying love and kindness are actually the main reason for athiests, no one likes a phony.
It's easy to claim to be a Christian, but there is a vast difference between a Christian by heart and a Christian by title. True the world follows a life of corruption and sin and they do not have the mark of Christ but if they cannot even look to those who go by the title Christian then how much better off are we? The average Christian does not inspire confidence in the hearts of man because we have forgotten what it really means to be a Christian and what love really is, I mean I am friends with plenty of athiests and they all once were Christians and the main reason they stopped believing was people who claimed to be Christian but wore a facade.
Many will teach and preach doing so in the name of truth and of correction but fail to see how they do these things in condemnation and are actually looking down on sinners not helping them. A sinner doesn't need to be reminded they are sinners they need to know that even though they are sinners they are just as precious and matter just as much as a child of God. Jesus would have done what he did a thousand times over for the sake of one lost child no matter how far gone they were and no matter how much of a sinner they were, they could have had the most evil darkest hearts and the most bloodstained soul and yet he would have done that a thousand times over just for that one lost soul because he sees something deep inside worth going that far for,That is the eyes of love and that is what real love is.
I think that is the love that is lacking and I think that is the exact kind of love we should seek everyday because this world only knows love how the human heart knows and even the deepest love in this world is lacking and will in some way fail them but the kind of love that comes from his heart alone is alien it's not normal and just bizarre and that is why it shocks people so much and why it impacts them so greatly. We live in a time where true goodness is rarely known and where love is merely a word thrown around or is a mushy emotion or feeling which is exactly why his love is needed so badly.
