Christianity...hm...I was raised that way. Really though, it's not an easy path being raised in it even. You've got to overcome issues that can drive you out, and you've got to let go of the thought that you can control your life, and etc.

For me, being raised to be Christian, my greatest enemy has been fellow 'Christians". Even today it is. Intimidation, peer pressure, being told you're un-Christian if you believe in X as an ethical value, or Y on a political issue. I have news for those who say that...there is only one requirement in Christianity. Only one to be Saved. Just believe, just confess that Jesus rose from the dead for the sins of yourself and all others.

Christianity is not about politics, it is not about homosexuality, it is not about abortion, it is not about no longer following certain Old Testament laws given to the Jewish people, it is not about what kind of television and music and other media we are associated with. It is not about sub-cultures, nor is it about a series of rituals, nor hymns or modern worship songs. Christianity, is about the belief in Jesus, the Christ, and a personal relationship with him.

Now, I've heard many a rant from one preacher or another about how every generation is the "Key Generation". As I watched Jesus Camp and was reminded of my childhood, the little kid, Levi I think, said "I'm really feeling those words, key generation". That, is a sign in itself. If Christianity is such a powerful force, why is there the threat of it crumbling with every generation, if each generation does not act as a "Key Generation"?

So I wonder if Christianity is the religious equivalent of Humpty Dumpty; would it fall apart and never be put together again? Or is it already that way? One book I was reading mentioned there were more than 30,000 sects of Protestant Christianity formed since the Reformation, many extinct now. Was that when Humpty Christianity fell off the wall, and never got put together again?
