- Such judgmental attacks are part of the reason Christianity is thought so
- poorly of by so many people today. Pat answers, often Bible verses pulled
- out of context, waved in people's faces do not bring healing, comfort,
- or encouragement.
-
- If I were a non-Christian in search of answers or encouragement, I would
- not turn to someone who self-righteously spouts scriptures and then
- pretends to have the inside track on whether other people are Christians.
- I would turn to someone who exhibits agape love. You can hang a cross
- around hate's neck, but that doesn't make it love, no matter how many
- verses you can quote.
-
- I've enjoyed the perspective Publius has provided in this group, and
- I look forward to more of what he has to contribute.
