Problems with Christian Church

[abaris]

I have a few questions regarding your perspectives on the church and Christianity..

**What are the big problems/issues you see in the Christian church today?

**Is your perspective of the former question from the inside (ie, your background was in church) or that of an outsider looking in? What took you away from church, if your background was church?

**What do you think about the person Jesus Christ? Is he real, historical person? Faked?

**What is the point or purpose in your life? What do you live for?

I'm especially interested in your responses to the first question!!

1) Define church. There are about 40.000 different denominations. I Haven't got a problem with the church - see 2.

2) The church is nothing but a medium or a building. It's the people who create the problem. If they are radicals or if they want to force their believes on society at large.

3) How would I know if Jesus was real. Noone knows. There's no evidence for his existence and at the same time you can't prove a negative.

4) I am the purpose of my life. And everyone and everything that is important to me.
