So, it's not "Christianity" we rebel against, it's "Christians". Or more succinctly, those who do not practice what they preach. For me that extends to anyone in that category; not just Christians. |
Actually I do argue against Christianity. I simply don't believe that Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins and that is the basis of Christianity.
