Sad. I know. Honestly though, it's worse than that. I'm even very resistant to calling myself a "Christian." And I'm not even close to the only Christian who feels that way! It's so bad that I have this very conversation with people all the time. There seems to be some kind of "Believer-like-me Radar" which tells people it's safe to talk to me about not liking the"C" word: Christianity.
You'd be amazed at how many people resist calling themselves Christian -- or maybe you wouldn't. Maybe you are one of us. The "C" word just isn't what it used to be.
