“What amazes me is how often Christians focus on everything but the teachings of Jesus. And recently, I’m watching the clips of Obama’s pastor, and I’m not hearing him say anything about Jesus or his teachings, just hateful politics.”
The underlying premise of that argument would seem to be, “If Christianity does not make its followers—and even those who hypocritically exploit it to gain power—perfect in every way, it is fraudulent.”
Nope. That would be jumping to a conclusion. Many Christian people go straight to the Bible and avoid the distortions of organized religion.
