Nothing makes me groan in despair more than to see a Christian railing on and on about something they believe strongly about related to their faith, while denigrating others, issuing pat statements and answers, and otherwise being utterly nasty and unhelpful in their words. Whether it has to do with origins, political issues, cultural issues, or a plethora of other faith-related topics that Christians weigh in on, guns blazing, showing no mercy (not to mention love, compassion, or empathy), the way in which many Christians ‘defend their faith’, so to speak, is anything but the ways in which Jesus and his earliest followers responded to such matters conducted such discourse in their day.
