I'm used to non-ie protals but see: http://www.repentamerica.com/.
"Christians, enter here.
Others, enter here."
I think they need a footnote to disambiguate people like catholics[1] and jesus...
[1] No, I have no idea why American "ultra"-Xian organisations think catholics aren't Xian, but there you go.

*chuckles* I can't take that kind of 'Christian' seriously...
...they are a shame, really, as they give a bad name to real, nice Christians...

Date: 2005-01-07 03:59 pm (UTC)I'm coming around to the view that it's because Xian is being treated as synonymous with "good". In thinking about morals recently, I'm coming around to the idea that in general, people seem have a tendency to assume that they are good. They make the fallacy of assuming that anything they do must therefore also be good, and that things they disagree with must be bad. This extends to cover political and religious beliefs.
Or, I'm completely wrong.

Date: 2005-01-07 04:18 pm (UTC)The 'Are you good enough to go to Heaven?' article was actually not as bad as its name suggested; it did actually answer the question correctly (you're not, neither are we, just as well God worked that one out and did something about it then...). Unfortunately then the site went and linked to a page about Bush's Homosexual Agenda and how he apparently isn't really anti-abortion *enough*.
The tale of the baseball-bat abortion (some girl in Macomb County wanted an abortion but didn't want to tell her parents, so she got her boyfriend to hit her with a baseball bat until she miscarried, now he's on trial) makes me think despairingly of To Kill A Mockingbird, too; let's hope it has a happier ending.

Date: 2005-01-08 03:53 pm (UTC)Somehow "Actually, yes, I am a Christian - I'm a f***ing Catholic!" didn't seem to convince them. *shrug* I fail to understand these people.
