					<description>It's been over a year since this incident and it is still vivid in my mind.  Unfortunately, gender obtuseness continues to plague the church and I've now seen yet another incident in my own church which resulted in a new Christian, a young vibrant potential leader, get so turned off she felt she had to take her family to another church.  At least she didn't throw the baby (her Christian commitment) out with the bath water.

Year after year Christian churches in America continue their hurtful ways, turning people off from Christ.  The younger the person, the higher the percentage of downright hatred towards Christianity.  Over 85 percent of buster and mosaic (under roughly age 40) non-Christians know a Christian but only 15 percent see any lifestyle differences between evangelicals and themselves.  They are also likely to have had a bad run-in with a church who turned them off.  See the evidence that the Barna Group has gathered in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/unChristian-Generation-Really-Christianity-Matters/dp/0801013003/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;#38;s=books&amp;#38;qid=1214946798&amp;#38;sr=1-1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;UnChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity... and Why It Matters&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.  It's a sobering look how American Christians are losing their younger generations.</description>

					<description>That is unbelievable!  That is, however, normal as people are prone to error.  I made an error that I corrected and I am free.

					<description>Unbelievable.  This is truly tragic.  I can't even imagine the foolish heart of that pastor.  I am trying to find a reason--and there is nothing remotely all right about this.</description>
