We have "Christian" neighbors. This morning their landscaping workers woke us up before 7AM and it's Saturday. When we called up to ask that they postpone the noise for a few hours they yelled at US! But they go to church religiously so they must be more Christian than I am, right?
If only all of those who professed to be Christians followed the actual teachings of Jesus we'd be in good shape. After all, he did have some good ideas.

On Christians and Jews

I went to church as a child, not a very rabid one and even attended a Methodist college. However, I have not forced my child to attend church and only regret that she didn't grow up knowing the beauty of most Christmas carols.
That being said, it drives me nuts when educated people carry on these theological discussions ("as you know, in First Corinthians it says...") as if they were citing some reality. Don't these people realize that the Bible is the minority belief here. I don't doubt that there was a Jesus; hell there have been many really good people in the world, from many different religions.
Oddly enough, they're so alike that it's difficult to accept that most wars are based on religion. Kind of like a lot of identical twins fighting with each other. Perhaps all these religious types should get together and go back to the basis of their specific religions. Aren't they motivated by goodness?
The scary thing about such new-age quasi-religious entertainments is that they equate believers with the right side, even as they do horrible things to their neighbors. One doesn't have to believe in God, or any god, to be good.
