"Not in His name"

I heard my friends no-believers having a conversation about some priests doing horrible things to little children. It reminded me of an article my friend Fi from feathers.of.inspiration wrote a few months ago. I could write my own one but I absolutely agree with every word and feel the same about it so I'm just sending a link. Fi wrote it very well. I would like everyone to read it because it's so important. I often hear people judging Christianity according to those calling themselves Christians. I call myself a Christian as well and stumble very often but that's not what Christ was and is like, he is perfect. Please read it here :http://feathersofinspiration.com/2010/09/18/not-in-his-name/

Just in case, I will quote it here as well

“I never post during the weekends, but I had something on my heart I wanted to share. I, as you may have noticed, am a Christian. I am not ashamed of this. But I am horribly sad and ashamed about what a terrifying trail we Christians leave behind us and thus compromise Jesus and all that his cross meant. If you’re reading this and aren’t a Christian, let me just say- I’m sorry. I’m sorry for crusades, I’m sorry for the church shutting people up, I’m sorry for all the judgment and hurtful comments you may have received over the years, I’m sorry for all the unloving Christians you met. Please understand- this is NOT what Jesus is about, this is not the way Christians should be. When Jesus came to Earth he loved people, fed people, healed people, talked and listened to people, cared for people, prayed for people and ultimately died for people. My hope is that one day, we Christians can be his true representatives, but if we’re not please remember who Jesus really is.”
