James (the one from the Bible) says "anyone who knows the good he (she) ought to do and doesn't do it sins"

Find me one Christian that doesn't selectively interpret this one to suit their own behaviours. And don't you dare, pull the "poor will always be with us" line. Imagine what the Christian faith would be like if this was interpreted in the same vein as verses about homosexuality.

The Christian Church is just a tennis club, where instead of playing tennis, you go to Church, it is about hanging out with your friends, and enjoying all that friendship brings.

All Christians are selective in what they believe, full stop. Personally, I don't have a problem with this, lots of people believe in capitalism which is a greater evil to believe in. I do have a problem with beliefs that cause harm - ie. Christians who believe that leadership is a male role and only in male-female marriages.
