The word "God" or "Christian" is not meant to be used just to win a popularity contest or to try to get more people to think you are some great believer, without actually believing. It should be used to describe the person that can love you like no other and the person who will fight for you in a way that he will give "his one and only son so that whoever believes in him will have eternal and everlasting life". We should use his name so that everyone can understand his love for us and know how amazing our God is. If you say something about your love for God, or being "Christian", then you go talk bad about someone online or while gossiping then you are not showing people what our Lord is wanting us to portray for him in this world. If there is something bothering you or things didn't go how you planned, don't go and blame other people and try to make them look bad in front of everyone. Just tell yourself that God has bigger plans for you. I would know because in contests when I don't perform well, I try telling myself "that person got in my way" or "she was sitting right in front of me the entire heat" but then I have to talk to myself and know that these were my mistakes and I could have just paddled away. I have to tell myself that one day God will give me a greater platform, where I can tell more people about his love for us. As you can see, there are better things you can do, especially in God's name, to deal with loss other than saying bad things about people and then saying how great God is after. God loves all of us and doesn't want any of us to do wrong to others. If you are a true Christian at heart, you would try to find the good in a bad situation. Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."
