- What amazes me, is that so many people call themselves Christians, but:
-
- 1) Have never read the Bible (unless forced at school)
- 2) Don't care about most of the commandments
- 3) Go to church only at Christmas, if at all
- 4) Donate little to the church, if at all
-
- Have people lost the meaning of Christianity? These people could as well
- be atheists, as it wouldn't change their life much.
