Thank God this doesn't apply to the Catholic Church!

"Do you think Christians across this country, every day, don't spend countless hours helping the homeless, the poor, and hte needy? "

Again, is this the vast majority, or a small handful? Because I can tell you a few things right off the bat before we debate stupid topics like this: No matter what the topic, if it's about people there's always going to be some anomaly. In this case it's a matter of good people being everywhere, not a matter of all christians being good people. You act like I said everybody who's a member of the christian religion is a serial killer.

"What would qualify as compliance with one's religion? Are you sure it isn't your definition rather than the Bible's???"

Clearly if your religion is "Christianity" and Christian means to be christ-like then ham sandwich, right? Of all people Sadie should know this since the suffix IAN means, "Of, relating to, or resembling".
If it was compliance with the bible, then we would be taking into account all the rules. The ten commandments? Seven deadly sins(those aren't actually in the bible, though)? Do you want me to start naming off examples of people who have broken these? If it's about anything beyond that, than that is the topic I am discussing.

My question is: If the job of Christianity was to teach you how to be a certain person, what kind of person does it create, and is that creation exempliary of the Religion's mold?
If we're just talking about believing in god, than whooptifuckingdoo. I'll have you know, if that's the point you're trying to make I'll be disappointed in you.
If it's about worshipping god, than what better way to worship God than to follow the guidelines he set for you? Yea, we'll sing to him! that will make him forget about all the times I pissed on his shoes. It says that in the bible 482075 times: Sing praises to my name and piss upon my shoe. You know that's really just an old joke about them carving urinals in the figure of jesus christ, though.
