"quote:
1. One of multiple religions. Christianity has many sub-christian groups with varrying titles, but centering around the idea of Jesus Christ, son of man dying on a cross to repent for humanity's naturally sinful nature. Christian belief also involves the art of baptism, prayer, and referring to the bible. Christians are commonly viewed as "good" people and is one of the largest religions on the planet earth. Christians also believe the basic idea that if they have faith in their god they will go to heaven or a place of eternal euphoria, if they are wicked or deny their god, they will be sent to hell, or as the bible refers as a lake of burning sulfur. Based around fear of an omniscient entity along with many, but not all religions, involving the idea of a God, heaven, and hell.

2.(Short-version) A Christian is a man who repents on Sunday for what he did on Saturday and will do again on Monday.

That man is a Christian.

Atleast that Christian man is sorry.You do the same except you're not even sorry.So you're criticizing him for being sorry?"

sorry dont mean shit if he's gonna do it again tomorrow. atleast other people who dont say there sorry or confess have come to terms that there going to do it again and aren't lying to themselves, and there minister/pastor etc.

Christian (True Christian)

A person who uses the old "true Christian" excuse to separate themselves from others of their own faith when those others do something wrong or shameful. Often times the "true Christian" doesn't have even a decent grasp of their own religion they profess to honor and will quite often break their own rules and codes of their religion to win an argument. "True Christians" are often loud mouthed about their faith to make sure everyone knows they are Christian as if it earned them some special prize.

However, when a popularity of religion challenge arises, "true Christians" will place that selective title aside to keep their numbers high much like how they'll ignore the other sects of their faith till they've established their numbers, then return to shunning all the other "non-true Christians".
