Sorry for the long absence, but now my miner is fully functional 
(I am currently making the argument for tithing in bitcoins as well 
)
However I see there was no counter-argument to my previous points, so oh well.
1. You met a someone who claimed to be Christian
2. This person was bad
Therefore
All Christians are bad
I'm actually curious about this point, I'm not really making an argument.
Also, Rassah, you mentioned that you felt offended because God forgives people without consideration of the victim of the crime, this is because in committing a crime someone has offended 3 entities:
1. A Holy and just God
2. The victim
3. The law
One may have forgiveness from you and God, and yet still rightfully go to jail, and people may still ask for forgiveness from God, with the realization that the they have not been given forgiveness from the victim.

step-father was a very religious, bible-thumping, violent alcoholic, who made hating religious people easy.
I think being a violent alcoholic would kind of make him not a Christian, although am I understand you correctly that:1. You met a someone who claimed to be Christian
2. This person was bad
Therefore
