How Christianity not being news is actually a large portion of its very strength.The truth is... Christianity isn't news. I don't mean in modern terms either; I mean in ancient terms. Christianity isn't news, and it never really was. When Christianity came along, it was literally nothing new. The amount of parallels between Christianity and various other religions around the world (the oldest of course dating back to Ancient Egypt or even earlier) is astonishing.;Nothing in the Bible was original. Almost every last item attributed exclusively to Jesus, for example, including the things he said or did (or anything that happened to him), can be readily traced back to another source far more ancient than Christianity or the birth of Christ.
A small article discussing a common criticism in the mainstream to being a Child-Free Christian.
A layman's perspective on the pursuit of damnation within the Christian faith. I feel the fundamentalist and/or conservative (and/or mainstream?) view of Hell and damnation is akin to an abusive marriage: If you don't come to God, and do it in this precise way, you go to Hell and that's that. Similarly, an abusive marriage works on the same principles if you think about it.
