Just disagreements. There are those who preach that all you need for "salvation" is to accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. Well, that's all well and good, but you kind of need to live as Christ exemplified. That's what being a follower of Christ is all about. "Fire insurance Christians." Bahaha. Clever. A zen koan put it quite beautifully: However well of Jesus Christ You talk and sermons preach, Unless He lives within yourself He is beyond your reach. this and I know one-word posts are objected to here, but...perfectly summed up. Well, one exception -- I'm a nondenominational (Protestant, I suppose, since it's non-Catholic Christianity) in a primarily Catholic area (Southern Louisiana is probably the only Deep South area that's not predominantly Protestant). But that's semantics; same thing applies. ...By the way, I know what you mean when you say "crazy, arrogant" Christians, but I don't see how creationism is a negative. There really isn't anything downright conclusive about the creation of the universe in any direction -- just circumstantial evidence and odds with which to idly toy. Either of the main sides of that argument require leaps of faith. For the record, I understand what type of people you are referring to, and I'm decidedly apathetic toward how the world came into existence. I'm just saying that creationism isn't on its own a negative quality.
