I grew up in the Christian evangelical church and it was horrible


When I was in junior high, I had a friend whose family was part of the Cult of Christ (Church of Christ). I went with her a few times and couldn't do it anymore. I was a devout Catholic at that point in my life, but I thought these people were extremists. It ruined the friendship when I said I didn't want to come to her church's events anymore. She started spreading nasty rumors about me as revenge. 
I've found in my life that these kinds of people are very vindictive and often two-faced. If you aren't with them, you're against them. It's impossible to agree to disagree.

Any form of fundamentalism where one set of people dictate how another should behave, believe, be part of a god of their invention is fundamentally wrong. They are in no way, Christian.

"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." ~ Romans 12:9-10

“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no commandment greater than these.” ~ Mark 12:29-31

Jesus would certainly have something to say to those fundamental Christian's just before they nailed him to the cross again.

Some of the most un-Christian people I have met are the ones who trumpet the loudest in their claim of being so very Christian.
