Well, don't go too far.....you still get lynched and dragged thru the streets in SOME parts of the world for being a Christian.....White.....Brown....American....all sorts of reasons.....Originally Posted by admin
ya FEAR kinda died this century when we finally started exercising FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND THOUGHT... its easy to say you don't agree w/ the church today; 200 years ago you would be burned on the cross
this is why you see alot of southern churches move the the whole YOUR GOING TO HELL stance which was still very popular in the 80's to hey come to church and have FUN!!!
But I understand what you're saying.
BTW, just so yall know....."church" is far more than the brick and mortar that is seen from the street. A lot of churches do a ton of humanitarian and community aid out of those big brick and mortar buildings. They just don't call the AJC to publish it like a corporation would. So just because you don't always hear about it or read about doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Trust me, I've been involved and still do quite a few "community projects" and different things to help people I don't even know and we do it for our own well being, satisfaction, and purpose. Again, just because the masses don't see people out there building homes for the homeless or serving at a soup kitchen (we do both out of my church BTW
