I never really thought it this way, but did you realize that many of the unbelievers in the world think that the ultimate goal of Christians is to create a totalitarian government? That we want to force everyone to become Christians and then to strictly adhere to all of the "rules" in the Bible?
You know, that thought never even crossed my mind.
I've always seen Christianity as being a light in a dark world. That as Christians, the fight we are fighting is to keep morality from eroding and to offer hope to those who are lost.
Even Christians cannot follow all of the rules all of the time, it's impossible. That is why we have Jesus, His blood covers our sins once we've asked to be forgiven. God knows that as human beings we are going to mess up - often.
Click here to read a recent article in the L.A. Times, about how many non-believers perceive Christianity.
I find it ironic that the non-believer thinks that Christians are trying to MAKE them be Christians - we aren't, we are just offering hope. It is also ironic, that as morality continually erodes in the world, non-believers act so indignant that Christians won't so readily accept their point of view.
We sure don't see non-believers readily accepting a Christian point of view though do we?
