I’ve been saying the same about “extensions of grace” for many years. I avoid working with craftsmen who have a fish on their ads, because of the experiences of being taken advantage of.

OTOH, the generosity of the Christian community toward well-thought-out altruistic works is unsurpassed. http://www.philanthropy.iupui.edu/news/2011/06/pr-GUSA.aspx “Giving Estimates by Type of Donor.”

The comparison should not be made by comparing a Christian to Christ but rather by comparing a Christian to himself before knowing Christ. We all fall short of Christ but the issue is has Christ changed us and are we letting him change us.

The atheist argument that a God cannot exist because he allows evil is an argument that starts with a premise that if God exists he would not allow evil. Such a premise places conditions on God that are not logical. If God exists he can be good, evil or neutral.

In his book Unchristian, Kinnaman studied the Mosaic (born between 1984 and 2002) and Busters (born between 1965 and 1983) generations of the United States, which currently comprise approximately 77% of America’s population.

That's to say, Generation Y (or the Millennial Generation) and Generation X.

I never heard of the "Mosaic" generation (or the Busters for that matter). It took me a while to figure out what it meant.

Nothing to do with Moses, but with the complicated ethnic "mosaic" of contemporary America.

Would you really use the word in that sense in a book about religious attitudes?

Maybe it's unfair, but it really makes me think Kinnaman must be an idiot.

Gandhi’s famous statement, “I like your Christ, but I don’t like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

Yet through the centuries Christians have fought righteous wars to protect the innocent, founded powerful charities, and educated millions where without education people would have degenerated into animals.

Gandhi's own country was greatly benefited by having a Christian nation run it for 200 years.

Gandhi's really believed his religion was better?
