Why do people , who are obviously NOT Christian, insist on being part of the Christian community? Why do they say 'we are old-fashioned and out of touch to believe in Christ' and then remain? What makes them think that they, out of millions currently, and over 2000+ years - they have it right? Mental illness?
Charles Lewis relates this story of a Rev. who doesn't wish to be, presiding over a Christian church she wishes wasn't, and how the United Church of Canada is too far gone to protest:
"...Ms. Vosper does not believe in the Virgin Birth, the Resurrection, the miracles and the sacrament of baptism. Nor does she believe in the creeds, the presence of Christ in communion or that Jesus was the Son of God.
In 'With or Without God', her book that was formally launched this week, she writes that Jesus was a "Middle Eastern peasant with a few charismatic gifts and a great posthumous marketing team."
I read a novel at Christmas called 'Father Elijah' by Michael O'Brien . It was apocalyptic, and the villain talked the same game as Ms. Vosper...
