I'm currently reading Unchristian by David Kinnaman. Listen to this qoute:
One of the surprising insights from our research is that the growing
hostility toward Christians is very much a reflection of what outsiders feel
they receive from blievers. They say their aggression simply matches the
oversized opinions and egos of Christians. One outsider put it this way:
'Most people I meet assume that Christian means very conservative,
entrenched in
their thinking, antigay, antichoice, angry, violent,
illogical, empire builders;
they want to convert everyone, and they
generally cannot live peacefully with
anyone who doesn't believe what
they
believe.'"
Ouch....
