Re: Community foundations
I would wonder, and hope TL too responds, if...
if you lived a Christian life...
if you actually tried to love others as you love yourself...
if you really believed in community...
would it matter whether you professed a belief in God or even believed in God, much less the Christian God.
Is Loving GOD what you say and think or what you do?

Re: Community foundations
TL has expressed a wonderful viewpoint on several occasions.
Christianity is sucessful if non-Christians wonder what it is that the Christians have and if they would like to have the same.
I bet TL would love to have you come visit with them for awhile. Not so you can be propagandized, but rather so you can check out the community yourself. For many of us, Christianity is not just some dogma to be indoctrinated, it's a way of life. Personally, I worry a whole lot less about what someone claims to believe. Look at their actions. Ask yourself would I like to have that person as a neighbor, as a friend? Would you like to have what it is they have?
If the answer is yes, then try to find out what it is they have. Odds are they will be willing to share if asked.
Sharing is not selling.
