It's a gentle term but effectively undermines the premise of the fusspots' arguments. And perhaps will remind me when I'm in danger of practicing it.<br /> <br />I do thoroughly agree that (as described) this protest does more to hurt Christianity than to help it. I wonder, though, what positive steps one might take to try to enhance the image of Christianity in the media. For the most part, Christians are portrayed as fanatical, prissy (and in need of being taught how to have fun), judgmental, or practiioners of various vices. <br /> <br />I've pondered what it would take to have a TV show with a happily married family who goes to Church each week - the data support the link with stable marriages - and I don't think it's going to happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-22827255432944734872006-12-18T07:44:00.000-05:002006-12-18T07:44:00.000-05:00I think "fusspot Christianity" may be my favorite ...I think "fusspot Christianity" may be my favorite new word...so descriptive!
