"...from the perspective of a non-christian, it was much more tempting to hear an invitation that is based on warmth and love, than it is to hear one that is full of isolation, supremacy, and vitriol."

Right on - preach it, brother ;-)

I'm not in the market for an organized belief structure lacking clear proofs,
but if I was, some of the ones recently touted around here in the name of Christianity would put me off big-time for their focus on exclusivity and divisiveness and hatred and closedmindedness.

It's like on a stock thread, where you get blindered non-informational hyping of a long or short position. You just shake your head and click 'Next'.

Mark,

The truth of Jesus Christ will set a man free. I am convinced that you have at least read parts of the bible for yourself. I am also certain that you have decided that your way is better. . Abraham once told a man in hades that even if a man rose from the dead people still wouldn't believe his testimony because they have already discredited the law and the prophets.

Jesus Christ rose from the dead and you have read His word, now compare.

-Chris
