christians...

... can't live with them. can't throw them to the lions.

thus says the bumper sticker i saw today while driving home.

it's upsetting to me that this is a prevalent enough attitude that it could be (presumably) mass produced and sold as a bumper sticker.

it's even more upsetting to me that my first reaction was to laugh. shocked laughter, yes. but still, why wasn't i mad, sad, or even thinking of thoughtful theological conversations to have with this person who felt the need to have such a sticker? do i too understand and relate to society's dislike and/or distrust of those who claim to be christian? possibly. i learned this summer that sometimes i prefer to be the only christian in a group of people than be with a group of christians. it's distressing that i do actually feel this way. what can we do? i'm curious what responses would be from the christian and non-christian realm.
