Those of us who chose to buy into the "christian tradition" must be aware of the sins of that tradition, and must be humbled and repentant by this. Claiming to be something "better" seems lke nothing short of pride now. Thanks for posting the link. Anyways, why not redeem the term, rather than run from it? The gay community has turned insulting terms (queer etc.) into terms of pride. What's to stop the christian community from doing the same? i’m disinclinde to us ethe term “christian” for those very reasons, but reading this article proposes some argument I’d not heard before, and I think they’re right.
