Dear Dark_Angel:

No doubt people have a right to question the validity of Christianity----especially given all of the wars waged, people killed, and evil perpetrated in the name of the Christian god.

However, the person of Jesus Christ is a totally different thing. Personally, I feel that Jesus, because he lived such a wonderful life of showing us how to care about others----how he spent so much of His time (His effort and His teaching) loving and caring about those aroud Him who were hurting, poor, rejected, and despised, He has become one of the best (if not the best) example of how we might live our lives. This is why I believe that one can rightly choose to have a negative opinion of Christianity, while yet respecting The Man Jesus Christ----and perhaps even choosing to want to live like Him.

Doug
