Here is a quote from Mahatma Gandhi. In a simple and profound
way, he pinpoints yet another underlying attitude prevalent throughout some forms of Christendom today:
"Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's
cause."
Unfortunately, the downward trend is anything goes,
but it never should become a point of hatred or ostracism. Of all people,
Christians should be the ones who can deal with situations and handle those
who do not believe quite like them. So what has happened? Have Christians lost
faith in their own cause and leader, having traded it for a bunch of worthless
doctrines and traditions? It's repugnant, that's what it is.

Ground-rules for comments:
1) Identify yourself by observing social decorum and use your real name.
2) Please stick to the subject of the post. Introducing extraneous issues makes it confusing for everyone.
3) Relevant queries, informed comments and disagreement are welcomed, but don't use this as a soap-box to vent your pet views or to simply to be obnoxious.
4) State your query concisely and make your comment with regard for other readers.
5) Be honorable and avoid insults and slurs, and focus on engagement with the issues and data. Comments with personal attacks or insults will not be tolerated. Refutation, declaring an error, all welcome and appropriate, but keep it polite and fair.
