About the only thing "original" and "exclusive" to Christianity is the fact that it is the only religion guilty of stealing 90% of its "Gospel" from everyone else on the planet and too, it's "slow chameleon" willingness to adapt with absorption. For example; when I was a kid anyone that played hard rock and sported Tattoos, long hair, dreadlocks, etc. were obviously not "good Christians"... today several major Rock bands are credited for "the New Gospel" music for young people. Many sport "religious" tattoos, piercings, etc. Then of course we have the whole technology evolution within the church element; phonographs & teletypes were proof of the devil until religious leaders figured out how to use said resources to their advantage... Radio, Motion Pictures, Television and most recently the Internet have all known this same course of "contempt prior to investigation"... yet, we still have those TV Evangelists that preach doom & gloom, inferring that the Internet is the device that the Anti-Christ will use for keeping tabs on everyone, etc. (don't you just love extreme paranoia?)
"They" irritate me... as I say often, "I have no problems with people that want to follow Jesus, it's the one's that go to church that scare me." Statistics: Posted by Craig Browning — 17 May 2010, 20:51
