Unfortunately so many have lost the whole concept of what being Christian is all about. I keep a copy of a poem written by Maya Angelou as my constant reminder, here it is:

CHRISTIANS

When I say... "I am Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin"
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing to be weak
and need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I'm worth it.

When I say... "I am Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon his name.

When I say... "I am Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace, somehow!

Never mind Leave Jesus alone. Leave me alone. I thought this thread was dead and buried. This topic took up enough of my life last time.

Of course I could unsubscribe, but having a slightly psychotic addiction too it, I'm far too paranoid that I'm missing something. The high entertainment value of posts offered by biblical (il)literaralist/Young earth creationists are just too priceless to miss.

Still battling my way through some very interesting threads on the BBC. The latest I have been emersed in is a heated debate between Darwinian evolutionists and the aformentioned right wind delusionists.

Needless to say. creationists keep regurgitating the same old discredited lies.

Good read, but I'll warn you it's nearly 1500 posts long!:
