l think 'Christian like' is behaviour in line with the core / central tenets of the faith of christianity.
There are a number of theists (like yourself , CalJust & others ) whose behaviour is consistent (for the best part) with how their religion asks them to act.
And then there are others like RJ Hinds who make a mockery of the religion that they purport to believe and are a disgrace in general.
It is Christians like me who challenge you to think. Didn't Christ do that?

I can assure you nook, that RJ is a better Christian than I.

People like you do the opposite of what you posted.
When you post the way you do it does not make people stop and think about the content of your post and any message that may lie within; rather it generates contempt and ridicule.
This is evident by the many people (theists of different faiths & atheists and inbetween) who admonish you and point out the all to frequent imbecilic comments.
It may be too late in life for you to learn how to treat others properly- but l wont watch silently while you treat this forum with the contempt that you do.
The christian faith does not deserve people like you claiming to be part of it.

I try to teach the truth of what is in the Holy Bible. I do not teach that Jesus
was crucified on Friday in contradiction to the scriptures as you probably
do. I do not know what other false beliefs about Christianity you may
hold for you are not a witness for Christ as you should be. You attack
those like me that wish to do so because we do not do it in just the right
way that you can agree with. What makes you a judge, like the Pharisee,
to determine the right way to witness of Christ?

You can "witness" all you like l couldnt give a toss.
However when you come to my place of work / home / social interaction like this site and spout your garbage in the manner that you do l choose to not idly stand by and let you do so without commenting on the idiocy that you bring with you (and the massive walking contradiction that you are).
l am not a judge and l am far far away from being perfect.
However l do appear to have a great deal more social skills than you and dont seem to foam at the mouth like a rabid dog like you do.

Fraud.
Why do you invision me as foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog.
Not everyone receives the truth of Christ in the same way. I do
not hold a big stick, so I can not speak softly. No one would pay
attention to my message. I know there are those like you, who
will disagree with my methods, but God uses whoever is willing,
no mater how uncouth they may be.

l have this image of you because you act in the manner you do.
People do not go near a rabid dog - dont act like one and you may be more succsessful in actracting people to listen to you.
In isnt rocket science.
People dont listen to a person yelling they tune out straight away.
You do a disservice to the one thing you are trying not to. People turn AWAY from your god because of you dont you get it????

"However l do appear to have a great deal more social skills than you and dont seem to foam at the mouth like a rabid dog like you do."
Is it a social skill to say to someone that they 'foam at the mouth like a rabid dog'?

Give me a break.[/b]
It is social skills that would make some realise that acting like RJHinds does is a very poor way to act (and therefore no behave in such a manner)

The Rabid dog analogy is apt.
You may have a break if you wish.
Get the coffee going would ya? 😉
If you knew there was, God, then you'd understand.
The idea that one can know there is no "God" is not possible. Therefore it is an irrational mindset.
Originally posted by nook7 Maybe. But l would disagree.
Really? RJ Hinds seems to make a living doing exactly that.
"I think it's God you're mad at, and you're just taking it out on RJ."
It amazes me when theists use this line. You think that l am mad at something that doesnt exist? quite laughable.
l am taking exception to the contempt that RJHinds (and to a much greater extent Dasa) show to everyone.
Nothing more , nothing less.
You were being dishonest with me, by pretending you were a Christian
with authority to criticize me as behaving in a non-Christian manner.
Now you say God does not even exist. What a hypocrite, just like the
Pharisee. 😏
