...the wishy-washy standards of contemporary Christianity...

I believe that the above is true.

So do I. Wouldn't a return to not so wishy-washy standards of earlier Christianity do instead of apostasy?

From everthing I read, the problem is that the Anglican church in England is just that: wishy-washy, terrified of offending, always willing to give in on theology, including questioning the divinity of Christ. As a consequence, only about one million (out of 60 million) Brits attend church regularly. Anglican churches in the countryside are increasingly shutting down after 1000 years in service.

wishy washy is right. however, some in the faith are starting to get it: some boston "catholics" wanted to eat hot dogs at a ball game this coming Good Friday, so they asked the diocese for a "reprieve", but were told no. it was reported on the "All Bill Clinton" network as if they were being spanked by a mean parent. with media like this, it doesnt do much good for anything christian, and with nothing but praise for the "religion of peace", we have a monumental task to make Christianity what it always has been: the TRUE religion of love and peace. unfortunately, christianity is seen as oppressive, while islam is seen as good because of its stern attitudes.

i submit to you: is christianity NOT a religion of love and understanding, while islam is one of oppression? after all, does not islam mean "submission" and "obedience"? have we not all seen the actions of cowardly islamic "patriots"? is it not far off that the heated feelings of true christian patriots come to the fore and finally give up trying to live in a phony world of living normally while wondering when the next bomb is going to explode? i think the day is being pushed closer by acts committed by the islamisists, not the christians. yet, as it has been done 3 times in the past, the "bad crusaders" that christians have been called, will have to move to crush the aggressor muslim. it is inevitable, political correctness notwithstanding. no use trying to hide, that will be the conclusion of this war - only the outcome this time is in doubt because of the disconnected christian's weakness of fortitude.
