Just wanted to take the time to apologize for myself and on behalf of Chistians.
There are a lot of people that use the doctrines of Christianity to bludgeon people over the head. I am one of these people and constantly have to remind myself to stop arguing for the grace of God in an ungracious way.
I apologize to any of you that have been told God hates you.
I apologize for to any of you that have been treated as outcasts.
I apologize to any of you who have been mocked/looked-down-on because of a belief that you hold (or don't hold).
I went to a private Christian college (surprise) and a lot of my friends were/are atheist. I haven't treated them as I should have and I want that to change now.
Cheers,
-Jeff
Apology rejected.
And this rejection goes to the core of your pet theology. You think mere sentiment is sufficient to make up for your actions - it's not. If you are truly sorry, tell me what you've done to make up for actions.
