As a result of this behavior when encountering a Christian I ask: Does this person who claims to be a Christian act with two-faced deception like a wolf in a sheep’s clothing or do they stand and act like Jesus when people wanted to stone Mary Magdalene?

I believe if Christians would stop taking deceptive theater/political acts to the work place and streets and once again consistently act with the kindness of Jesus, society would change for the better. Christians would gain respect, there would be less civil unrest in America, there would be better communities, and probably even fewer abortions. Until then society continues to grow distrustful of all Christians.

America needs a strong sign from Christians as a whole unit, a public recognition that their two-faced deceptive actions caused harm to many and that they are going to implement an awareness program to help prevent harm like that from happening again. Something like the Catholic Church did in response to the sexual abuse harm. The recent evangelical manifesto is a good first step.

Although we certainly could, I'm not arguing about either the environment or abortion here.
I'm pointing out that the logical bases for religious arguments change accoridng to what result is sought.

It''s okay to interpret; it's not okay to interpret.;, it's okay to interpret, but only in a certain way……..

As I'm not religious, I have no dog in the race of 'best religion'. I can only watch in amaxement.

I read an article by a religious person denouncing evangelicals who are active on environmental issues on the grounds that they call on the government to be involved.
Since Jesus never spoke about governmental involvement, neither should they, so goes the argument.

Jesus never said a single worrd about abortion. In this case, however, liberal interpretations of Jesus's will are not only permissable, they form the basis of anti-abortion. activism.

An invitaion to anti-torture activist, Dr. Steven Miles, to speak on the subject at a Catholic institution was revoked when it was discovered he was also pro-choice.
Miles had submitted the text to his speech, so it was clear the subject of abortion would not be mentioned. Apparently, it's better to silence an anti-torture voice than to taint the premises with the footprints of a pro-choice person.

Go figure.

Reasonable voices are beginning to be heard, however. . Even some evangelicals show intellectual integrity by putting the questionmarks of appropriate humility after their conclusions. .
