So, sometime in the fairly recent past, Christianity decided to drop that whole "God's chosen people" and "We're going to heaven, and you're NOT, unless you go OUR way" stuff?
I think that'd be news to virtually EVERY Christian 'round these here parts...
Really. You choose to attach yourself to a belief system that REQUIRES you be on your best behavior, and yet, you're no better than anybody else? Why bother, then?
While it may not be out to PROVE you better, it most certainly is out to MAKE you better. If it's not, something must be seriously wrong. Either it doesn't work, or you're not doing it right.

That's just a thing of beauty. I'll have to ask that horrid thing to stop paying me.

Fascinating link, Charles. I find it hard to believe that almost all of the comments either have no biblical base, or read the bible upside down.
Apparently he doesn't know that the constitution was written by people who were devout Christians. Oops I'm blaspheming ("To say that America was established on Christian principles is blasphemy")
Here's one: The musical "Beauty and the Beast" made by atheist homosexual heathens at Walt Disney is designed to subtly create tolerance in the foolish american society for BESTIALITY ! (Wow, who didn't see that one coming? But is it just me, or was Beauty and the Beast before the Disney era?)
Okay, this is sickening. But the one question remains, Which is the "True Christianity"? Any answers?

What I posted a while back. A Christian is one who follows the teachings of Christ. These listed are the heart of the teachings of Christ, IMO.

Doesn't sount all that Devout a Christian to me... Neither, for that mater, do Thomas Paine or many other of the Founding Fathers. (Don't make me pull out my collection of quotes again). Religious, yes, to the extent that they believed in a Creator God and acknowledged the tenets of Christianity as useful. But not very Christian for their time or this.
And the Treaty of Tripoli refuted, at least on paper, the idea that the USA is a "Christian" nation.

The twisted freaks who write these articles demean not just other Christians but the whole human race. That someone with a potentially useful brain can be reduced to such a slavering bigot. (FYI, I speak as an atheist) ------------------ "I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter."
