Jesus and the Disinherited

First update of college life...I'm just going to start out with today. There are so many things I could say about the past few weeks.

My first year seminar is very loaded. Today we discussed a quote in the book "Jesus and the Disinherited". It referred to Christianity as seemingly "impotent to deal...with the issues of discrimination and injustice on the basis of race, religion, and national origin." I was a little overwhelmed when my professor started talking about the name that early Christians established for Christianity...and the name we still create for it today. Thousands were killed if they didn't believe the gospel, homosexuals have been repeatedly judged and hated by Christians, wounds in the process of healing have been torn open with hateful remarks. Unfortunately, this is how the world views my faith. I stand on the Word that I know is true, and I believe in Jesus Christ with all my heart, but I wonder if people would accept my love more easily if I professed faith in Allah or Buddha or some other false god (simply because of the name). It hurts to think about how my Jesus has been misrepresented.
