Reply #16: Who owns the name?

Every time Christianity rears its head in public, it's the Pat Robertson variety.

Or the Rick Perry/Michele Bachmann kind of Dominionist crap.

I know there are very decent people who believe that the Bible is true (although not necessarily literal in all cases), that Jesus really is God, etc, etc.

But I think the religion's name has been stolen out from under them.

Regardless of what Jesus may have said 2000 years ago, Christianity is as Christianity does.

And in today's America, the big, well-publicized things that it does are nearly always bad.

I think that sincere followers of Jesus need a new name for their group.
