Re: 16
Target-*snerk*Well, I did my best to follow Christianity for a while before trying to seek my own path, and I just think it leads to more comprehensive discussions on the theology and actuality of it. Any good debater has heard the phrase "Know your material/topic". I think if someone is unfamiliar with a subject then they have no business trying to say whether it is good or bad. The fact that you are a Christian yourself, having a rational discussion about Christianity, actually makes me more inclined to listen to you.
You did bring up a very good point that had slipped my mind when writing my response above. "Cultural Christianity" and "establishment" indeed. I remember watching some program, I can't remember what it was, sadly; a child was asked if they were Christian, and their response was "I'm American". Even if Christianity is the prevalent religion of the U.S., it would be a sad state of affairs if Americans were all to claim Christianity by 'default', and be entirely unaware of what they are claiming affiliation with.
Actually, that brings me back to your earlier point about 'historical' Christianity. I think you're absolutely right, but that is because I am familiar with the source material. The people who bash Christianity as a national past-time just pick and choose which scriptures to quote based on which ones will make them seem right, and disregard the ones that would prove them wrong.
I think the cornerstone of the problem is that the loudest ones claiming to be Christian don't actually follow their faith, and of course this will give the people who actually do a bad name.

I cringe whenever G.W. Bush mentions Christianity.
