I agree one hundred percent.  What represents Christianity today is a far cry from the Jesus I learned about as a child, the one who said to turn the other cheek, to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's (pay your taxes), that if someone wants your coat to give them your coat as well, and that what you do unto "the least of them" you also do unto me.  He said to love your Lord your God with all your heart, to love your neighbor as you love yourself, and to love one another as I have loved you.  I remember as a child not wanting to turn the other cheek or give up my possessions to another, and I don't think many of us do.  However, 30 years ago the "Prosperity Doctrine" began to infiltrate our mainstream Christian churches, while at the same time, Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" made a comeback, and somehow with the later propaganda and influence of Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, and Hannity, being selfish is not only acceptable, but considered Christian and right.

There is so much more I have to say about this and have in previous comments, but for now, I just want to say that Christianity to me is all about a heart attitude, and I don't see how wanting to save every fetus, while at the same time wanting to cut programs that help poor children who have managed to be born shows much Christian love or charity.  I also don't get why right-wing Christians are so pro war, when Christ said "blessed are the peacemakers" or why they support our troops but leave our veterans lacking and often homeless.  I could go on and on about this and I have in the past, but I would leave it with the thought that maybe some things that represent Christianity today have nothing at all to do with following Christ and that maybe we need to examine our hearts.  Are we really being Christ like, or are we justifying our own selfishness and prejudices???
