Charles Barkley says I'm bad

From LifeSiteNews...

NBA star Charles Barkley condemned all conservatives as "fake Christians" in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer on February 15....

During the interview, Barkley, 44, declared that he was pro-choice and in favor of gay "marriage." He also said that conservatives could not be real Christians. Barkley, a basketball star in the 1990s, was a Republican until several years ago, when rumors of his plans for a political future began to circulate.

"I've got great respect for Sen. McCain, great respect, but I don't like the way Republicans have taken this country," said Barkley. "Every time I hear the word 'conservative,' it makes me sick to my stomach, because they're really just fake Christians, as I call them. That's all they are."

When asked by Blitzer for clarification, Barkley used a single scripture quote to back up his claims. Using Matthew 7:1, Barkley construed that to be Christian, one must never judge the actions of another person to be good or bad.

I consider Adolph Hitler to have been a bad person. same with Charles Manson, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold and Osama bin Laden. But by deciding that these people are bad, according to Charles Barkley, I'm not a real Christian. My question is, does Charles Barkley consider himself a Christian, and if so, why is he allowed to consider people bad? If not, why should anyone take him seriously when deciding who is and isn't a Christian?

Above all, why in the world would anyone vote for someone who says such idiotic stuff?
