Christians aren't really different from the Jesus we read about in the Bible if you go by what the Bible really says. They're only different from the stereotype of gentle loving Jesus. To see such a Jesus, you have to either not read the Bible or read it but ignore anything that doesn't fit the stereotype. I did that for decades.
KingPhil, you ignore things about Jesus that don't fit the stereotype. Do you really think you can have an evangelical impact on people who do not ignore these things? We think you are a wonderful person, but that in no wise translates into thinking your god is wonderful.
Rhonda I'm not sure how you read my response as me saying how great God is. I'm simply responding to how I feel we should be thankful as a society. You are taking my belief in Christianity and somehow twisting what I say in to an attempt to proselytize people. Hardly. I'm not an evangelical street corner preacher. I live my life by my beliefs, how you view that is little concern to me as I'm out to live my life for me, my family and to care for all I encounter. I was in no way attempting to show how great God is because I do great things. I don't think I do great things. I do what I feel I need to in order to help make things better for those around me.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
