Hi Anita and All!

It’s hard for me to be totally objective because I am a born-again Christian!

That said, I dislike the term Born Again Christian because of the stigma/implications that can go along with it.

I also dislike when other Christians give Christianity a bad name by: black and white thinking, judging, tossing all other spirituality out the window.

There is a life, a mysticism to Christianity that dies when people try to put it in a box. The Divine cannot be contained in a box! When people crystallize it into a mental construct (“Jesus, Jesus, Jesus”) they SERIOUSLY turn other people off!

Anita, I’m not surprised you are atheist (if I’m remembering past posts correctly!). There’s a lot of “I wish they wouldn’t do that” out there! (regarding proselytizing)

How much better would it be if we did good deeds, sang hymns and had joy and love in our hearts. THEN people say (and I’ve seen it!) “I want what he/she has!” and the realization “OH! They are Christians!”
