I've always found Christ and his teachings to be an antidote for fear and doubt.

I'm with you.

After observing the current scene, it grieves me that Christianity is becoming a namby-pamby religion of fear and forgiveness for the unrepentant.

Key word being unrepentant. You are correct in that Jesus has been made into some squishy New Age hippy, where everything people do is all right with Him. That is a tragic mistake.

Yup.

Do you even think we would know the name 'Jesus' if His followers cried "Waah! We're afraid of the lions! Waaaaah!"

The first Christians overthrew the Roman Empire simply by refusing to live in fear and having faith in Christ's teaching.

If Christ cannot dispel one's fears and doubts, Mohammed and his followers certainly will...
