Christianity versus religion. Seems like most people don't know the difference anymore. I've told several people about authentic Christianity and can almost watch the light bulb come on in their eyes. They'd been seeing it all wrong for so long and it turned them away. Jesus and the disciples were some pretty tough fellas.

There is just so much doctrinal nonsense being passed off as Christianity today that it becomes really easy to toss the baby out with the bath water. I admit that earlier in my life I became an atheist for a short time when I didn't know better, and part of that reason was because I was so turned off by a lot of mainstream theology and the types of people spouting it. I had to really dig into the stuff to sift the wheat from the chaff, and it was only then I realized that most of it is chaff these days.
But that's how I learned the difference between religion and spiritual truth so it was a necessary part of the journey I suppose. I don't really engage in doctrinal debates much but sometimes I just have to say something when I keep seeing the same tired nonsense popping up again and again.
"The number one argument against Christianity is Christians"
I *think that was C.S Lewis who said that (an ex atheist).
