Christianity is entitled to the tribute of respect. I do not of course mean that all individuals, nominally Christian, deserve trust, confidence, or even respect, for the contrary is too often the case. Too often, men hold religion as they do property - in their wives' names.

Christians are not limited to any church.

It remains to consider what attitude thoughtful men and Christian believers should take respecting them, and how they stand related to beliefs of another order.

To be frank, I suspect that today there is little respect for Christianity as source of moral teaching about goodness.

People tend to say Christians are always judging, but the word of God convicts Christians and urges them to obey God's commands.

Humans love truth and justice, and rejoice in ceremonies that honor those qualities. For that sentiment we should indeed thank God.

Christian virtues unite men. Racism separates them.

Men cannot make Scripture conform to their lifestyle; they must make their lifestyle conform to Scripture.

Most Christian leadership is exercised by people who do not know how to develop healthy, intimate relationships and have opted for power and control instead. Many Christian empire-builders have been people unable to give and receive love.
