A Christian<BR/>2. A real Christian<BR/>and<BR/>3. A "real" Christian.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Bartman uses form 3. I used form 1. <BR/><BR/>It's true that Christians are pretty fragmented and one Christian's definition of Christian can rule out others who call themselves Christian. Living with and allowing that ambiguity is inseparable from what it means to be a Christian - hence, I refrain from the use of form 3.<BR/><BR/>That does not absolve us of the responsibility of speaking out when someone who calls himself a Christian is really promoting hate.John B.

Until that point, silence is the best option.<BR/><BR/>Your ire would be better directed to people like Fred Phelps and Richard Butler.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1146819517315307502006-05-05T12:58:00.000+04:002006-05-05T12:58:00.000+04:00The question I ask is, is it good enough for Chris...The question I ask is, is it good enough for Christians to simply ignore the likes of Chick? I will allow that it may even be best to ignore him because giving him attention is what he craves to promote his message. As long as he's hardly noticed, that may be the best policy. But if he attracts enough attention, then Christians need to be make a clear statement disassociating themselves from his ideas and methods.<BR/><BR/>If we ask that Muslims speak out against those that hijack their religion, shouldn't we be asking the same of Christians?John B.

I was right! <BR/><BR/>He has, as redstar mentioned, been mostly ignored by the rest of the Christian world. He has a lot of misplaced fervor.<BR/><BR/>If muslims are offended, they should see what his views are on the Catholics (his favourite target). <BR/><BR/>Check out his info on wikipedia. <BR/>h??p://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Chick<BR/><BR/>Hmm...will UAE boycott the USA now? If not, will Denmark will cry foul?<BR/><BR/>Btw, what exactly is the point of this word verfication system?
