The world is equally shocked at hearing Christianity criticized and seeing it practiced.

Oh the Christian church has encouraged enormous immaturity among the peoples who are its primary adherence.

When you write about faith, people will be upset with you no matter what. I've heard from readers who were disgusted with the depiction of monotheistic religion. I've also heard from readers who were upset because my portrayal of faith did not adhere to their specific doctrines. Fortunately, I have high risk tolerance.

It's not so much religion per se, it's false certainty that worries me, and religion just has more than its fair share of false certainty or dogmatism. I'm really concerned when I see people pretending to know things they clearly cannot know.

I am disturbed when I see the majority of so-called Christians having such little understanding of the real nature of the faith they profess. Faith is a subject of such importance that we should not ignore it because of the distractions or the hectic pace of our lives.

After being raised as an evangelical Christian, I for years assumed that Christianity was the default - there were Christians, and then there were weirdos. I was shocked when, in college, I found that some people get offended when you tell them, for instance, that their recovery from surgery was a 'miracle.'

It appears to be in the nature of religion itself to be prejudiced against those who are different.

There is much, of course, in the exclusive claims of Christianity which make it hostile to other faiths.

Even though, there are many who describe themselves as Christian, most do not heed to God's word without subjectivity.

I very much dislike the intolerance and moralism of many Christians, and feel more sympathy with Honest Doubters than with them.
