When people who claim to be Christians have so little understanding of who God is and what His word really says, it's no wonder the rest of the world has such a warped view of Christianity.
Yes, that is one of the major obstacles when trying to talk with people about Christ and their need for salvation. Straight after reading your posting I read the news online here and that just reiterated the point.

It's the relentless tide of Christians such as Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr and William Wilberforce who broke the bows of slavery and poverty. All of them would deeply disagree with euthanasia and late-term abortions, yet none of them built their platform upon it. Their credibility was passionate lives laid down for those who had no voice. Their credibility was the moral authority of surrendering their own lives to those who had nothing.

Unfortunately people pick up their understanding of what Christianity is from the media. Or they wish to claim that they do. But those of us here were never fooled by the media and didn't buy in to their false teachings.
My personal opinion is that people don't want to find the real answers because they would rather continue in their sinfullness and claim that they have the excuse that they couldn't find the truth because of all of the nonsense in the "churches" and the "media".
By the way, that Mr Tamaki mentioned in the article above is the multi-millionaire false teacher fake Christian "crook" that I have mentioned before and his bad name is known to just about every New Zealander.
