“Many Christian religions tend to make people feel worthless and broken. Instead, they should be spiritually uplifting and enriching.”

“I have a problem with a church that has its main mission aimed at preferential treatment of rich, attractive, influential, and gifted people. Instead, it should be more concerned with its people’s spiritual growth instead of administering an ancient museum.”

“Unlike the uneducated Christian followers from centuries ago, the typical Christian today has a particularly high level of suspicion of organized religion, including an acute sensitivity to hypocrisy. Leaders who think otherwise today won’t lead many.”

“Christian ethical decisions should be based upon personal honor, interpersonal relationships with others including non-Christians, and moral implications of the decisions. Anything less than this violates the teachings of Jesus.”

“Many Christians believe it better to be 'right' than to have a relationship with another. However, Jesus didn't teach us to be right.”

“Christian leadership should include integrity, honesty, compassion, diplomacy, perception, common sense, and forgiveness. Serving as a Christian leader involves servant leadership, which is a radical commitment to their follower’s life that requires acting in love no matter what it costs that leader.”

“Regrettably, many Christians support the church’s shame-based culture of manipulation, embarrassment, and disgrace to get what they want, which is to gain followers, power, influence, and obedience.”
