A few bad apples have created a terrible image for the Christian faith. An image of piousness, hypocrasy and money hungry greed.

I am a Christian...I sure hope that I NEVER come across as "religious". To me "religion" denotes a set of values and beliefs based upon traditions, practices and rules of a group of PEOPLE (a denomitation).

My beliefs and convictions are about my faith, not about religion.

D*Alex - Jesus would and will do just about anything "banal" to establish and keep a relationship with you or anyone for that matter.

Look up the definition and the distinction between Faith and Religion.
