Christians are asked to be decent citizens, I believe (one reason I have a problem with calvinist “sola-fide,” tho' not thereby necessarily approving of roman catholics)–brought out in the Sermon on the Mount and other places in the NT. Unfortunately most humans can't follow that advice, on a day to day level. Violence, lust, cheating, lying,etc. are ordinary reality for most Americans. That's a shame.

You can't be Larry Flynt during the week, and then attend church and be forgiven. A few 20s won't suffice. Yet many if not most citizens attending church seem to be Larry Flynt christians.

(Like this fool, Byronius, a businessman from Sac-town (http://journals.democraticunderground.com/byronius) , who pretends to be some liberal radical during the week, and yet is involved in Sac-area churches, notwithstanding his foul mouth, wrath, and phony politics. Even the DU liberals don't know that this person supported Schwarzenegger, and Mitt Romney. Hypocrisy with a capital H).
