They Make a Good Point Nonetheless
Though I am annoyed by the lack of logical arguments freethoughtpedia.com puts
forth, they do make a point. Christian (and Catholic) nations, Christian groups, and
Christian individuals have messed up badly. We haven’t represented Christ in the past, so it
is an obstacle when we try to spread the Gospel.
Before we can even start speaking about Jesus, we are bombarded with:
“What about all the priests who have molested children? Is that Christianity?”
“What about all those pastors who have had affairs? Is that Christianity?”
“What about all the (insert oppressive actions) Christian nations have done? Is that
Christianity?”
And so on, and so forth. Because we haven’t lived like Jesus, our past actions are
something we have to overcome today. Like Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13, we can do
everything we want. We can have all truth on our side. We can move mountains and do
miracles.
But if we don’t love, it means nothing. Right now we are reaping the fruits of being
unloving.
