Christians are their own worst enemy, IMO. They twist the message of faith, love, hope, and forgiveness into something that is anything but. They see people as evil, hopeless, filthy rags that need an outside miracle to forgive and save them. Instead of hearing the message of Jesus, to forgive and love thy neighbor... they don't even think that is possible. They think they must rely on or put their faith in a miracle or outside 'savior' to save them from the evil in themselves and others. That is actually the opposite of faith. It is hopelessness, really. They don't even hear nor believe in the message of faith and love anymore.

"2 Corinthians 6:2 King James Version (KJV)
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, And in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."

Now is the day of salvation. Now is the time to have faith in the power of love... to act on your own and others' ability to love and forgive each other. That was the message of Jesus. Don't kill the message, nor the messenger. Don't wait for an outside miracle or savior to appear in the sky. The miracle is within you. Have some faith.
