    Bishop Amvrossios was convicted by a court in Greece for his comments about inciting hatred against gays. He told people to "spit on gay people " The court however gave the bishop a seven month suspended sentence. The Church of Greece condemned the ruling. They said the bishop was only expressing his "personal opinion." Hum, the bishop doesn't appear to be filled with a lot of love or compassion. Wonder what Christ would say?

    The church was already starting to lose the grip it used to have over the people... protecting this kind of attitude will probably only make things worse.

    In my own personal opinion, people used to become Christians out of fear (initially), after that as a custom (it became the "normal" and mandatory thing parents had to teach their kids) and nowadays is a choice people make on their own. They have to realize that the way they act and behave will affect their image, and their image is the most valuable thing they have left now that people are choosing if the Christian teachings is something they want to follow.
