When you claim to be a Christian,
you are claiming to reflect the very person of Jesus, publicly declaring
that his Spirit abides within you.
So when someone claims to be a Christian but commits acts
of hate, violence, or oppression
using their faith as a rationale,
they are taking God's name in vain
by committing the worst type of sacrilege: facilitating evil in the
name of God.
