Christians have often fallen short of what followers of Jesus are called to be. We have seen this in the Crusades, religious wars and bigotry; in opposition to science, in the way critical thought is discouraged and in harsh judgmentalism. To this day, many professing Christians embody the antithesis of grace.

Ah, so we’re not so wonderful after all.

The Crusades: Christians should not have defended themselves?

in opposition to science,

?

Are you talking about empiricism? Materialism? Neither can bridge the gap between what IS and what SHOULD BE.

Materialists have no grounds to moralize.

in the way critical thought is discouraged and in harsh judgmentalism.

Tell that to St. Albert the Great, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Dominic, St. Anselm, etc., ad infinitum.

Secularism has brought us the joys of communism and anti-rationalist post-modernism and deconstruction.

Back to DU, college student.

I didn’t think the sarcasm tag was necessary. Obviously I was wrong.
