The most glaring difference between Christ and other beliefs is that Christ doesn’t demand that we earn our redemption, while others do. In being honest, you have to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything (I think that’s a country song). Being honestly empathetic is important, but don’t give up what you know to be true.

I have been part of several “interfaith” groups for several years now. What I always find interesting is how Christians are always the ones who feel they can and should stop believing and praying as the tradition teaches. Now there are some who say they are “islamic christian”, “buddhist catholics”. Christians allow all kind of New Age prayers to “earth spirits” and reading from every other religions “prophet” (guru, whatever) in their worship space. But whenever we meet at the masjid their prayers NEVER get changed! The Buddhist still sit crosslegged and chant endlessly, Native Americans don’t EVER pray to “Father God” and end their prayer “in the mighty Name of Jesus”. The Christians who refuse to compromise and change our “prayer style” to be “more inclusive” are soon asked to leave. Just food for thought.

I can’t help but believe that the new militant athieism is the spawn of the modern day church. The attitude of the church is permeated with an “us vs them” mentality. Pro life vs pro choice, creation vs evolution, left vs right, the church vs homosexuals…etc. We have exchanged our being “salt and light” to the world with that of being vinegar and curseing the darkness. Small wonder then that Christianity has become a by-word to so many.

I wish I had been there for that discussion. I love being a disciple of Jesus but struggle with the idea of being a Chritian; I consider religion a cultural translation of who God is therefore I have respect for all faiths.
