I've got a rather negative view of the modern church - any church - in general, but these guys give me some hope:
the guys behind XXXChurch and the Strip Church have a book out and are on the road promoting it. I've always been wary of these guys, but the more I read, the more I like 'em. No, no chance of converting me, but they love people like me anyways, and they're not interested in what I do, but who I
am. That's unlike their arch enemy, the Westboro assholes, who would rather destroy the sinner to prove wrong the sin. XXXChurch has it right: be open, accepting, and educational, and you'll attract more flies with honey than vinegar. I think that was in the Bible somewhere.
