Dave,

>From a theological standpoint, all those "religious" people
you've been exposed to, let's assume that they were really
Christians.  Before the Judgement seat of Christ we(they)
will stand some hard judgement as their works are burned up
before them because they damaged those weak in the faith or
ran off unbelievers like yourself by our hypocritical ( literally
in the Greek - acting in a play) behavior.

However, unbelievers sometimes use perfection as a standard to
measure Christians and then when they don't measure up they
condemn us as hypocrites.  (I'm not accusing Dave Holt of this !)

The cliche still is true "Christians are not perfect, just forgiven."
