Problems with Christian Church

[NoFaith2Burn4]

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!!

Is the problem in the Church, Jiffy?

Columnist Jeffrey Kuhner at the Washington Times wrote:

"For the past 50 years, every major institution has been captured by the radical secular left. The media, Hollywood, TV, universities, public schools, theater, the arts, literature — they relentlessly promote the false gods of sexual hedonism and radical individualism. Conservatives have ceded the culture to the enemy. Tens of millions of unborn babies have been slaughtered; illegitimacy rates have soared; divorce has skyrocketed; pornography is rampant; drug use has exploded; sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS have killed millions; birth control is a way of life; sex outside of wedlock has become the norm; countless children have been permanently damaged — their innocence lost forever — because of the proliferation of broken homes; and sodomy and homosexuality are celebrated openly. America has become the new Babylon." (as quoted here)

The article points to the rise of a new Arianism...let me know what you think.

LOFL, you Godwinite shithead - racism is for Xtians, and Hitler was a good Catholic.

Racism is extremely rare among secularists, for similar reasons which made them rational enough to be secular and non-ideological. Racism is common among white Christians, and here are likely reasons for that:
1. Angels are always white.
2. Any mention of "Black Arts", "Dark Magic", "Black Magic", "Dark Angel", "Angel of Darkness", or "Prince of Darkness" necessarily reinforces existing bigotry when heard among white congregants. Because, white angels represent good, and black angels represent...darkness! It's like the old movies, where the good guys wore white, and the bad wore black hats.
