 masbury says: How people feel about Christians today as opposed to what they were like early-on. I think their are those who call themselves "Christians" and the real Christians. * antihomosexual 91% Yes, should be * judgmental 87% No * hypocritical 85% Should not * old-fashioned 78% That's their opinion * too political 75% Republican or Demo? * out of touch with reality 72% Define "Reality" * insensitive to others 70% Should not be * boring 68% That's their opinion And let me guess, you know which is which, right? No, but it sounds like you do, ratilfar. I have a friend who is what I would consider a true christian to be. She is a warm wonderful lady and I can honestly say I love her. What year is 150 C.E.? It sounds vague. Is there an event it refers to? If you go by that book they believe, it's hard to consider any sect and their deity as loving C E refers to the Christian Era. lifecycle: "that book" contends - in contrast to many Christians, strangely enough - that Jesus is what God is like. I don't think many would find that less than loving. cit - from Wikipedia: Common Era, abbreviated as CE, is a designation for the calendar system most commonly used world-wide for numbering the year part of the date. The numbering of years is identical to that used in the Anno Domini (BC/AD) system, with 2009 being the current year in both systems and neither using a year zero.[1] Common Era is also known as Christian Era[2] and Current Era,[3] with all three expressions abbreviated as CE.[4] (Christian Era is, however, also abbreviated AD, for Anno Domini.) Dates before the year 1 CE are indicated by the usage of BCE, short for "Before the Common Era", "Before the Christian Era", or "Before the Current Era".[5] Both the BCE/CE and BC/... I wish you would stop calling things by a politically correct name. The correct way is AD (Anno domini). What is common about our era? It is the same as turning Happy Christmas into Happy Holidays, etc. etc., because non-Christians might be offended. So what? Happy Holidays means that more than one holiday is celebrated. It really has nothing to do with Xmas and the change in terminology B.C.E./C.E. is one done by the historical/archeological community long ago because the all B.C./A.D. was not accurate enough for them. So why used A.D. if it is non-functional just to please Xristians? " Why the contrast between then and now?"Excellent question!! I wish you would stop calling things by a politically correct name. The correct way is AD (Anno domini). What is common about our era? It is the same as turning Happy Christmas into Happy Holidays, etc. etc., because non-Christians might be offended. So what?Ah, an enjoyable comment! You want me to ignore the fact that others might be offended by the terms I use. And why? So you won't be offended by the terms I use! LOL! There's a summary of what's wrong with modern Christianity: it's about us! Jesus, on the other hand, and Paul, built bridges to others by becoming like them.

Oh, I like Christians now, I happen to be one of the (nominally) it's the jerks that tick me off. And those come in all denominations,sizes and sexes!  |
