God Revolution received this in an e-mail from Libby Gibson:

Basically this post is to express my hurt and anger toward...people who STRONGLY suggest their sect of christianity as the right one

I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments. Faction among Christianity, from what I hear (not being Christian myself), does seem to be a point of contention rather than understanding and growth. I refuse to see it as a bad thing inherently, because I think the fact that not everyone feels the same way about every detail is what makes it wonderful. Of course, at a certain point you could be so different it's hard to call yourself what you separated from in the first place. But in general I think it should be a point of embrace. That is, the beauty lies in the difference. You come to understand things in a new way, based on the views of others. You may not remotely agree with them, but that only strengthens your views while still making you examine them, always grow.

I think in America change is one of the most feared things. And I also feel that that sentiment has found its way into religion. I think something that should be taught to Christian adherents is that change can be good. Doubt does not necessarily mean one

Someone's a little bitter. And also, you can say whatever you want, but you got kicked out because you told me that a religious revolution was basically stupid.

Anyway, I think it's funny how you say that Michael and I simply "claim to serve" Jesus, like we actually don't. How dare you? I guess once a Christian, always a Christian. And by that I mean always judgmental.

As for christian, I think christian is a wonderful word, it means to try to be as christ like as possible, not all christians are judgemental ya know, I think everyone is to an extent but no one group should be pooled into on category. but thats me. As for brandons saying that you all claim to serve Jesus, I think no one has the right to make that assumption, only people who know that is you and God. :)

Hahaha! How dare you, once again? I guarantee you never even tried to research what they truly believe in. For one thing, when I was in church I was in Holiness, Apostolic, and Pentecostal churches and they definitely didn't believe that you could get into heaven on good works. Wow, no not at all. It really seems to me like every denomination looks at all the other denominations in that light. And that is incredibly sad.

Yeah but apparantly they also believe that God is a indian giver. He gives salvation then takes it away.
