Christianity is such a powerful and beautiful religion. It is the only religion built on love. Love is the most powerful message in the world. Too few Christians realize this, and if they do (as many liberal theologians do), they tend to think of love as a hippy perversion of love.

"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to "set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; and "a man's enemies will be those of his own household.' He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me." -- Matthew 10:34-37

Christianity
is a complicated thing ...
Yes, it's about love,

but too few Christians
admit the complexity
and consequences

of loving God and
being loved by God. Rather,
they exploit the word

"love" in their own ways
just like the hippies used it
for their own license...
