This thing called Christianity


It's a funny thing. It saves people and it scares people, it's about peacekeeping yet it starts fights and wars, it is attractive and it turns you off, some people call it lifestyle, some people call it relationship, some people call it religion. What is this funny thing called Christianity?

I feel that what Christianity has become is far from what Christianity was intended to be. Not everything, but there are so many ideas, myths, and stereotypes associated with "Christianity" or "Christians". And I feel that we "Christians" spend most of our life defending "Christianity".


I seek to find the meaning of not what it means to be a christian, but what it means to be human. What it means to be this being that God created us to be. What does it mean to be a human being? What is at our core? What were we created for? ...or are we just another passing flower, here today and gone tomorrow?
