I wasn't talking about tying my political identity to my religious one. I don't really like what they have to say about a lot of things, they are most of the ones that are promoting that LGBT people should be frowned (including somewhat of a specific focus on LGBT public figures and the media/entertainment) and even promoting that God himself should eternally punish them. Even though I believe that sometimes, it's more about them saying that they believe is wrong than it is that they are actually making direct threats to LGBT groups, it's still very sick tough-talking to say this type of stuff, especially broadcast on TV as The 700 Club.
That still doesn't make me more confident in my belief that their "prophecies" are by any likelihood total BS.

Now I agree that non-Christians won't hold to the same morality standards as we Christians do, however, that being said, it is our goal to be a Light to the darkness of the world around us. It is not hateful to point out and guide non-Christians towards right, when the path they are on leads to eternal hell. When you love someone, you are going to be there to ensure that they are going along the right path. This goes for non-Christians as well. We are not told to be judgmental or act as any type of authority, but instead let God judge Righteously. However, we do have his Word to go by, and therefore can help guide people along, through love and compassion, towards the Truth.

Paul agrees (unless I've taken this verse completely out of context).
For why should I be judging outsiders? Is it not your business to judge those within?

I'm an (Eastern) Orthodox Christian, and I am really interested in the topic of religion/theology. I used to use NationStates years ago but forgot all about it. Decided to come back and saw this thread, it caught my eye as one of my interests. I'm looking forward to discussing more with people here!

I'm not Russian; I'm a convert in America, but with an interest in Russian history. Georgia has a very underrated history though, and continues to be one of the most devout countries in the world.
