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.
