As you know, the media holds conservative/Christians to exponentially higher standards than regular secular folk.
If I, as an agnostic, keep my nose clean and stay out of trouble, am I held to a lower standard by Christians even though we find sinners revealed among them?

*********************************
The Bible does not teach that Christians go to heaven for being good.
Christians go to heaven because they believe in Jesus Christ.
If a Christian sins, God does not love them less. But it does open their lives to being ruined by the devil.
Sin is sin, whether done by a Christian or a non-Christian. But the Bible also says that “judgment begins at the house of God” which means the sins of Christians are “outed” more than the sins of non-Christians, at least to my intellect.
Christians are also urged to “love [their] enemies”, and “esteem others better than yourselves”.
So, to answer your question, “no”. Truth is truth, and lies are lies. A Christian demonstrably lying is not to be believed, and a non-Christian demonstrably telling the truth is to be thanked.
Until a definition of “truth” regarding a situation is established, there is much discourse ... especially on the internet, particularly on FreeRepublic.com
I hope I answered your question.
