unChristian, part 2

Do you know what percentage of young adults outside the Christian faith have a positive view of evangelical Christians? 3 percent, yes, 3 percent (and the vast majority of these outsiders have been to Christian churches and have heard the message of Christ.) Why so negative? Christians have become famous for what we oppose, rather than what we are for. Only a small percentage of outsiders believe that the labels “respect, love, hope, and trust” describe Christianity. Here are the six most common objections outsiders raise about Christians: 1) hypocritical; 2) too focused on getting converts; 3) antihomosexual; 4) sheltered; 5) too political; 6) judgmental.
