It seems to me that Christians have become so worried about what will be thought of them if they stand up for what the bible actually says, that we have started to not only represent the Gospel so very poorly, but have become a horrible caricature of what a Christian ought to be.
If the truth matters, and I believe it does, then shouldn’t the transformational truth-claims about God be quite evident in the way our lives are lived out and how we treat others — even devout atheists?
