QUOTE : However, this isn’t how most American Christians think. American Christians gravitate to those who agree with them and are most welcoming toward those who swear allegiance to the church-approved doctrines and practices. Most Christians prefer to spend time with those who mirror themselves, which happens because Jesus isn’t in charge of the class. The students have taken over and replaced Jesus’ way of life with their own preferences. Jesus has become an impediment, a complicating factor to doing what we want.
