[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My pastor calls things like OP’s post “Christianese,” or stuff Christians say to other Christians to make themselves feel good.  No one who isn’t Christian is going to find the idea of Jesus paying your “sin-debt” compelling.  People feel like they have more pressing issues, like how to feel peace, be a good person, etc.  And sadly, they are so turned off by people like OP that they never see that the love of Jesus can do amazing things in your life, the one you are living right now.[/quote]

I'm a minister and agree with your pastor.  I call it "religious malpractice". Thankfully, the majority of Christians eventually outgrow that type of thinking. [/quote]

Unfortunately I have to disagree with you on the point that most Christians eventually outgrow that thinking.

It is precisely that thinking that is most prevalent around the world.  Not here in our liberal bubble, but these types of Evangelicals are harming countless communities around the world with this type of 'radical' worldview.  This is why in other countries those that have been converted carry these same polarizing views and continue to perpetuate them.

I also grew up in the Bible belt and know very well how common and widespread this line of Christianity is in America.

It's sad to say that the Christians that are more like you, minister, and like many on DCUM are definitely the minority.
