[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A thought to mull over:

If Christ appeared today and preached the very same message he did 2000 years ago, how many of those who profess to believe in him and his teachings, would listen to him?[/quote]

A good question.[/quote]

I don't know the answer. There are plenty of historical figures who opposed injustice based on their Christianity; I like to think they would listen to Jesus now. Many fundamentalist Christians don't seem to think of Jesus as a radical activist for social justice, but that's what he was. Similarly, [b]many atheists dismiss Jesus as an activist and completely overlook the Christians who drove the abolition movement in the U.S. or died in concentration camps for actively opposing Hitler.[/b] Go figure.

I like to think those people acted as they did because they were good people (Christians or not) who were doing what was right for humanity -- not simply because the deity they worshipped would guarantee a place in heaven for them if they followed the example set forth for them in an ancient book, and who would otherwise send them to hell[/quote]
