Sometimes I pretend to have never heard of jesus.
That’s gets their excitement level through the roof….
Then when they start I say Oooooohhhhhh. That jesus! Yeah I already have a religious identity. But thanks.”[/quote]
Scaredy: You’re treating all Christians as if they all believe the same things, from a dogmatic standpoint. This isn’t true.
It would be akin to treating all Jews, Orthodox or no, as Hasidim.
Amongst evangelical Christians, there is a strong desire to proselytize. Unfortunately, their view of God’s word isn’t the same as held by other denominations, Catholics being the largest. As a Catholic, I believe the bible is contextual, not literal, and even a brief reading of Spinoza exposes the many flaws and contradictions in the Bible.
