I think a lot of people (including myself) have been very badly hurt by well meaning Christians and the church in general and it's so easy to become cynical or jaded. What I usually end up telling people when I talk to them about my faith is that I've never been really good at fitting in with Christianity as an organized religion but I'm not ready to give up on Jesus yet. Mainly because through all of my faults and failures He has never, ever given up on me.... and at the end of the day that is what Christianity is to me and that is what matters.... <br />Love, Hope and Faith.<br /><br />Great post and thanks for your genuine honesty, it's so appreciated :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497289912197443753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032711968656643927.post-16218172980073115112010-10-26T11:12:04.088-05:002010-10-26T11:12:04.088-05:00You're so right!
