prophex, if you wish to describe how you see Christianity, please do so. As I said, I hope this will become a discussion, not a debate.
I took what you said as an insult and I would say Christians deserve an apology. I'll leave you with this cool quote by a guy named Clive Staples Lewis: "I believe in Christianty as the sun rises, not only because I see it but by it I see everything else." (from memory, probably not exact)

Re: Where are the Christians?????

Anyway, the short version is that I think that Jar was simply asking for people not to use the "you are not a real Christian" argument. Of course I could be wrong, it happens.
Jar said no debating, funny how the word argument comes into the conversation. Jar expects the Christians here to lack self control, which offends me. Asgara did a good job of containing the crowd (hmm, riot?) I guess.

Re: Where are the Christians?????

I do know that some Christians sects don't consider other Christian sects to be Christians. For example I worked with some fundamentalist Christians who didn't consider Catholics to be Christians. They said that Catholics were all going to hell. What I never did figure out was that they also said that the way to salvation was to accept Jesus as your lord and savior. From what I can tell from going to catholic church and Catholic school in my youth is that this is precisely what Catholics believe. Of course they also pray to Mary and the saints but I think that god forgives these "sins".
Actually Catholics believe that works/deeds/sacraments get you to heaven, believe me I just recieved Confirmation (the sacrament) a month or two ago. There are many verses of the Bible speaking against this, (this is where you get the "sects" you were talking about.) Just wanted to clear that up, don't take it the wrong way jar.

I found this line insulting, I'm sure you understand why.
