One of the reasons I sort of disavowed Christianity and religion in general was precisely those individual Christians who felt compelled to tell me how or what to think, what I was doing wrong, etc. I didn't like it, so I just walked away. 

But walking (or running) away isn't really a solution. It doesn't help find new approaches or work to change the dialogue. It's harder to stay and work from within (both within your own self and within a specific community) - and it's ultimately more rewarding. 

I feel that the things I've read here on your blog about faith, God and religion (and from the very thoughtful and intelligent people who comment) have given me more hope about Christianity as a whole than anything else lately. 

Also, ditto what Jason said: <em> I think it’s so much more powerful and productive to define yourself by inclusion and supporting what you do believe in rather than by what you don’t agree with. I guess that’s why I’ve mostly identified as UU.</em>
