1. It’s ideal.
2. It asks or wants nothing of me.
3. It automatically tailor-makes itself to fit the mind and heart of each who claims it as his own.
4. The historical story of the figure of Jesus Christ is true.
5. Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was salvific.
6. Too many Christians too willingly forget that Paul, though clearly a genius of the first degree, was just a man.
7. It is undergoing what (I hope) will amount to a second Reformation.
8. Luther. Freakin’. Rocks. (Except of course for some of his later anti-Semitic crap.)
9. Liturgical churches are better/purer/safer because they so minimize the chance of (inevitably counter-productive) Pastor Worship.
10. In general, Christians deeply embarrass themselves by knowing so little about either the Bible or the history of Christianity.
11. Protestants need to remember and respect that Catholics are every bit as Christian as they.
12. The Bible is so infinitely complex and perfectly wrought that it could only have come from God.
And to round-out a baker’s dozen: 999,999,999 times out of a billion, a Christian trying to “evangelize” is merely exercising his or her own ego.
