I wouldn't call it Christianity as much as private sects of Christians failing. Also, the joy and wonderment of some of you pushing down your irreligious views (which are religious in nature, but you aren't intelligent enough to realize it) is laughable and hypocrisy.
Christianity without Christians wouldn't be a religion. If there are no believers then there is no religion. I don't push irreligious views. My views are religious in nature. Maybe, what Christians call the Holy Ghost dwells within me, I just don't buy into the worship of Jesus the Christ or the Christian God. My choice.
I mean this is a result of an over-sexualized culture, hell-bent on destruction and personal egotism, and we got this way be secularists shoving their crap of secularism down students throats and brainwashing them.
Perhaps, instead of blaming everything on an "over-sexualized culture, hell-bent on destruction and personal egotism" and "secularists shoving their crap of secularism down students throats and brainwashing them" you should look at the role Christians had to play. It is easy to play the victim. Take the harder road and examine your own actions that lead to this state.
Obviously, you guys can't make that connection. Christianity doesn't have a part in public schooling and Christianity has no inroads to teach any moral or beliefs in the schools and we wonder who is shoving crap down the other's throats?
Christianity should not be taught in public schools. There should be no "inroads" to teach any religion in public schools. School is about "readin' and writin' and 'rithmatic." Unless it is a Christian school. Perhaps that is the failing on your part.
Christians are free to create their own private schools and teach the programs of their choice. Perhaps Christians would be better suited to gather their tithes and create a school for like minded individuals. It has been done. Liberty University is growing in leaps and bounds. Instead of playing the part of victim to secularism in public schools you should create your own.
It's the moronic secularists who don't understand their beliefs are religious and intolerant and shove down their beliefs with the force of law.
But go ahead and pretend you're libertarians for free-speech and allowing the parents to teach the children as they see fit. It seems your hypocrisy knows no limits.
Parents are free to teach their children any religion they want. Perhaps it is Christians failing to teach their children a faith that can withstand the rigors of a secular school. To know that they will meet others of different religions in these schools and that they will come in contact with different views, but that true faith will overcome.
When this is over you will reap what you sow. Without a belief in God you will have what the Marxists knew was needed to accomplish their goals. If you don't believe me look at history, which you probably don't believe because it doesn't suit your agenda, and for a further diagnosis tell me if less Christianity is good in today's climate where we are losing our freedoms.
There is a connection, but the ignorant are ignorant of their ignorance.
Heavy on the "oh, woe is me and damnation unto you for you do not believe as I believe" cliche. To bad. Maybe you are one of those Christians that is the cause of the decline in Christianity.
To sum it up. If Christians want to draw others into their ranks, perhaps they need to re-examine the things that have gotten them to this point.
Show others the teachings of Jesus the Christ in your everyday action. Jesus would not have condemned gays to death. I know that some of the Christians here will nit-pick that one. If you want to re-invigorate the Christian church you are probably gonna have to back down on that one. People just aren't finding it necessary to convert to an intolerable religion.
Create your own schools or better yet teach your children well. So well that exposure to outside influences will be of no consequence to them. What is it that the Christian God would ask in His followers? That they have faith only when not tempted by evil. The God from the Testaments that I read was all about tempting. Only then could a believer search hisself and find that he is a true believer.
Be like Jesus. Use some of your tithes and send promising young Christians to medical and nursing schools. Create out-patient facilities at your churches to help the homeless or downtrodden.
Get out of politics. Faith in a higher power transcends the bonds of human governments. I'm not saying don't fight for your rights. I am saying don't fight to limit the rights of others.
they have a monopoly on the "Good" and since you don't think like them you must have a monopoly on the "Bad"
