We talk in churches all the time about people rejecting Jesus, but I'm not sure that that is what they're rejecting. I wonder if what they are rejecting is actually the Church and Christians, not Christ himself. It seems that even the most hardened atheists, in their defense of their views, bring up things like the Crusades or the Inquisition to show why Jesus is a fallacy and why they refuse to believe in God at all. Those events, and others like them, have absolutely nothing to do with Jesus, but with his idiotic followers.
I would venture to guess that a good deal of atheists have had some sort of a negative spiritual experience in their lives that lead to them rejecting the whole thing. Maybe I'm over-simplifying all of this, but maybe I'm not.
So what do you think?
