Dear God,
Christianity is seen as rigid, orthodox, and plain snobby. The ideals, and the doctrines themselves, are really not so, but that does seem to be the general facade being put up by the people. Pope Francis is the antithesis of this facade (though you'd expect him to be the facade), and I'm really glad that he's leading the church in this time of questioning norms. But even with a strong, flexible leader, the church is losing fans fast.
Christians drag your name into everything..
"We live by good Christian values, I stay at home and do all the work while he [my husband] goes out and makes a living," says (something like that) one housewife on Wife Swap.
They bring You to shame.
It is not "good Christian values" to oppress women; You love everyone regardless of their sexual inclination, and being Christian is all about loving!!
Christianity is anything but orthodox and snobby. It's about loving everyone regardless of society's ridiculous standards. We, as Christians, must learn to accept and understand and love. Compassion is the core of our ideals.
I don't like the way Christians behave in society: rising to every taunt of the atheists (who are probably just disillusioned), posting hate comments of the internet, and protesting against minute details like birth control, abortion, and gay marriage.
I cannot say that I am innocent of any of these "Christian Crimes," but I will try to be a better Christian, and a better human, in the future.
Cheers.

"God doesn't approve of, or love, gay people," say the protesters outside San Francisco's city hall.
"It is more important to be Christian than love," a comment on a Youtube video reads.They bring You to shame.
