And I mean true believers in their church, and not 'lapsed' people or whatever.

I don't think many protestants really have any real grasp of theology, just a hunch though.

I hear a lot of Christians liking to hijack the religion to promote racism or war or death or any number of other things diametrically opposed to it. Really, as far as I can tell, it's because most of them don't realize they can hold personal opinions independent of religion, even if that makes them opposed to their religion. So instead of trying to reconcile the fact that they're going against Christ, they attempt to spin, contort, and twist Christian beliefs to impose their own beliefs on top of it.

Instead of analyzing their faith and their own beliefs and making a decision to follow one or the other, the person instead pretends their faiths completely back up their personal beliefs and that everyone else is doing it wrong.

A lot of that also seems to come from the base notion that individuals are fully capable of interpreting God's word for themselves by reading the Bible, despite not having any background in basic Israeli culture, Roman culture, ancient history, language, etc. and not making any attempt to familiarize themselves with change in interpretation of scriptures over time.

So people end up divining truth by pulling verses out of context, citing old testament legal jargon as the words of Jesus, getting metaphors and parables entirely wrong, etc. as well as attacking other schools of religious thought without even making an effort to follow the original lines of thought that led to that stance.

This is not to say that only theologians/"cultured" people should dictate the truth to the unwashed masses, but there is a serious lack of respect taught for the Bible and how you should read from it

Hindus say the same thing
>Hinduism is not a religion, it is a way of life.
Then you will find them killing others in the name of religion.

It even says in the Book that they think they can interpret with absolute certainty, that it is impossible for the mind of man to understand god. But still "Hurr Durr This is what God wants!"
