Just because some of us question Christian dogma does not mean we are 'opposers of Christianity'. I have said many times that I respect your right to believe what you like as long as you respect my right to freedom of speech and the right to critically examine the norms of our society. I'm afraid leaving the Family did not change that for me as I was like it before I joined. If you are secure in your belief it should not bother you to hear your religion examined by others. It is nothing personal Farmer, remember that.
Your astonishment that we cannot see the truth of Christ is the same as my astonishment that you can believe it. Lets give each other that space to question without taking it personally or think that someone is being vicious. Comedy is healing and movies like the Life of Brian went a long way in Jewlz and my healing when we left the Family. We never knew any other Christianity other than the Family so respect our right not to go there ever again.
