img class=face src=http://planet.ubuntu.com/heads/matthew.png alt= pI#8217;m reading a book that I just picked up called a title=link to Amazon page for the book href=http://www.amazon.com/unChristian-Generation-Really-Christianity-Matters/dp/0801013003/ target=_blankunChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity#8230; and Why It Matters/a by David Kinnaman. It is an analysis of exhaustive research by the Barna Group and details what people outside of the Christian faith think about it and its adherents and why./p pThe book is fascinating, not so much because I found the results surprising, although some Christians may, but because of how honest people were in responding to the questions. That gives me some hope that perhaps those at whom the criticism is directed may be able to hear it and do something about it. As a member of the group being critiqued, I both agree with almost all of the criticisms and I think massive change is needed./p pIn general, the research shows that Christianity is perceived like this:/p ol liemHypocritical/em, that Christians try to portray themselves as morally superior, with a polished image that is inaccurate, and that churches convey an image that they exist only for virtuous and pure people./li liemToo focused on getting converts/em, and not actually caring about people or loving people as they are. Instead, people feel treated only like targets for conversion and (often rightly) question Christians#8217; motives in interaction with them./li liemAntihomosexual/em, bigoted and fixated on #8220;curing#8221; homosexuals while also leveraging political solutions against them./li liemSheltered/em, old-fashioned, and out of touch with reality, preferring simplistic solutions and answers to a genuinely complex reality./li liemToo political/em, overly motivated by a political agenda that puts personal beliefs and preferences above valuing others, preferring to represent issues and fight over them instead of engaging in dialogue and working with others to find workable and acceptable solutions to real problems./li liemJudgmental/em, not honest about attitudes and perspectives about others, and it is doubted whether Christians really love people as we say we do, at least those who disagree with us./li /ol pThere it is. And you know what? I agree./p pReading through the research, these opinions did not arise in a vacuum. They were not caused by media portrayals. Almost everyone questioned had experience with Christian friends or acquaintances. Most had spent at least one month regularly attending a church. Almost all who expressed a negative opinion said that they did so because of one or more personal bad experiences with Christian behavior or attitudes. Only a small percentage had anything other than a neutral opinion of standard Christian doctrine. Hmm./p pI am encouraged by reading that the majority of Christians under the age of about 30 also agreed. This could bode well for some needed changes in behavior and attitudes./p pWhat I would like to see is a Christianity populated by people who are kind, gentle, loving, compassionate, consistent in their words and actions, honest, friendly, and who place a greater importance on serving others than on political action designed to fight against the world. That is also the main thrust of the book, which is mainly intended for a Christian audience, to look for ways in which the overall Christian community is poorly representing what it believes and recommend ways to change, so that behavior lines up more directly with stated doctrine. Here#8217;s hoping the book finds a wide audience./p Share and Enjoy: a rel=nofollow href=http://digg.com/submit?phase=2amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fmatthewhelmke.net%2Fwordpress%2F2008%2F11%2F30%2Funchristian%2Famp;title=unchristian title=Diggimg src=http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/digg.png title=Digg alt=Digg class=sociable-hovers //a a rel=nofollow href=http://del.icio.us/post?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmatthewhelmke.net%2Fwordpress%2F2008%2F11%2F30%2Funchristian%2Famp;title=unchristian title=del.icio.usimg src=http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/delicious.png title=del.icio.us alt=del.icio.us class=sociable-hovers //a a rel=nofollow href=http://www.mixx.com/submit?page_url=http%3A%2F%2Fmatthewhelmke.net%2Fwordpress%2F2008%2F11%2F30%2Funchristian%2Famp;title=unchristian title=Mixximg src=http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/mixx.png title=Mixx alt=Mixx class=sociable-hovers //a a rel=nofollow href=http://www.google.com/bookmarks/mark?op=editamp;bkmk=http%3A%2F%2Fmatthewhelmke.net%2Fwordpress%2F2008%2F11%2F30%2Funchristian%2Famp;title=unchristian title=Googleimg src=http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/googlebookmark.png title=Google alt=Google class=sociable-hovers //a a rel=nofollow href=http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmatthewhelmke.net%2Fwordpress%2F2008%2F11%2F30%2Funchristian%2Famp;title=unchristian title=StumbleUponimg src=http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/stumbleupon.png title=StumbleUpon alt=StumbleUpon class=sociable-hovers //a a rel=nofollow href=http://www.dzone.com/links/add.html?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmatthewhelmke.net%2Fwordpress%2F2008%2F11%2F30%2Funchristian%2Famp;title=unchristian title=descriptionimg src=http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/dzone.png title=description alt=description class=sociable-hovers //a a rel=nofollow href=http://reddit.com/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmatthewhelmke.net%2Fwordpress%2F2008%2F11%2F30%2Funchristian%2Famp;title=unchristian title=Redditimg src=http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/reddit.png title=Reddit alt=Reddit class=sociable-hovers //a a rel=nofollow href=http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmatthewhelmke.net%2Fwordpress%2F2008%2F11%2F30%2Funchristian%2Famp;t=unchristian title=Facebookimg src=http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/facebook.png title=Facebook alt=Facebook class=sociable-hovers //a a rel=nofollow href=mailto:?subject=unchristianamp;body=http%3A%2F%2Fmatthewhelmke.net%2Fwordpress%2F2008%2F11%2F30%2Funchristian%2F title=E-mail this story to a friend!img src=http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/email_link.png title=E-mail this story to a friend! alt=E-mail this story to a friend! class=sociable-hovers //a a rel=nofollow href=javascript:window.print(); title=Print this article!img src=http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/printer.png title=Print this article! alt=Print this article! class=sociable-hovers //a a rel=nofollow href=http://slashdot.org/bookmark.pl?title=unchristianamp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fmatthewhelmke.net%2Fwordpress%2F2008%2F11%2F30%2Funchristian%2F title=Slashdotimg src=http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/slashdot.png title=Slashdot alt=Slashdot class=sociable-hovers //a a rel=nofollow href=http://twitter.com/home?status=http%3A%2F%2Fmatthewhelmke.net%2Fwordpress%2F2008%2F11%2F30%2Funchristian%2F title=TwitThisimg src=http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/twitter.gif title=TwitThis alt=TwitThis class=sociable-hovers //a br /br /

Get it on iTunes: Animal SNAP!

Apple continues to find itself in hot water over its decision to support strict copy protection standards with its new line of Macbooks. Owners of the new generation of Macbooks and Macbook Pros were up in arms last week about the fact that HD movies bought at the iTunes store wouldn’t show up on many external displays, such as LCD screens or digital projectors. Instead, users were greeted by a warning that their displays were “not authorized to play protected movies.”br / br / Apple reacted to the brouhaha this week with a Quicktime update that disabled the copy protection scheme. That apparently wasn’t enough to appease the Free Software Foundation (FSF). The open source advocacy organization just started a holiday-themed “35 Days against DRM” campaign that attempts to point out flaws of consumer electronics with DRM support and dissuade shoppers from buying them, one device a day. Think of it as an advent calendar from the Church of Linux, if you will. Apple’s new Macbooks have the dubious honor of being featured on the campaign’s very first day. a href="http://newteevee.com/2008/11/29/macbook-video-drm-problems-continue-to-make-waves/" target="_blank"Continue reading on Newteevee.com./abr / br/div class="tagblock"small class="ttags"Tags: a href="http://technorati.com/tag/apple" rel="tag"apple/a, a href="http://technorati.com/tag/macbook" rel="tag"macbook/a, a href="http://technorati.com/tag/drm" rel="tag"drm/a, a href="http://technorati.com/tag/hdcp" rel="tag"hdcp/a, a href="http://technorati.com/tag/newteevee" rel="tag"newteevee/a/smalldiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/p2pblog?a=KZ7ON"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/p2pblog?i=KZ7ON" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/p2pblog?a=RjHVN"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/p2pblog?i=RjHVN" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/p2pblog?a=I2dan"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/p2pblog?i=I2dan" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/p2pblog?a=W0H1n"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/p2pblog?i=W0H1n" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/p2pblog?a=62eFN"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/p2pblog?i=62eFN" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/p2pblog/~4/470015143" height="1" width="1"/
