Below is generally what I meant about 'sock puppets', aka a meme that you have created that purport to represent what most all Christians think.Have fun with your collection of Christian sock puppets...
I don't mean to speak for others out of turn (if that is what you meant).

A strawman sockpuppet is a false flag pseudonym created to make a particular point of view look foolish or unwholesome in order to generate negative sentiment against it. Strawman sockpuppets typically behave in an unintelligent, uninformed, or bigoted manner and advance "straw man" arguments that their puppeteers can easily refute. The intended effect is to discredit more rational arguments made for the same position.
