Mark Twain Quotes

"If Christ were here there is one thing he would not be--a Christian."
I think that this quote is saying what Mark Twain really feels about Christians. I read multiple other ones about Christianity, and all of them point to the Christians not being what they say they are. He describes them as being hypocrites and evildoers compared to what they should be doing. In my opinion, I think that he is trying to say that how many Christians are acting is not like how Jesus would have acted. The Christian stereotype is so different than how Jesus was that he is saying that people probably would not recognize Jesus as a Christian. There are so many denominations, and Jesus only wanted one. Many have very controversial beliefs, like not baptizing until a certain time or ordaining homosexual ministers. There is so much anger between the various denominations that I think Twain feels Jesus would be disgusted to be called a Christian. Then, there were the Crusades, and the Holy Roman Catholic Church issues. There are issues about allowing abortion or not. Most Christians do not even read the Bible or go to church, and then criticize others about not doing it. Oh, and some "Christians" do not even believe that Jesus died to save our sins. That is what Christianity is all about, and so that is really screwed up. It is definitely true--Jesus would probably not be a Christian by today's standards because of how the faith has really veered off the course that Jesus had for it.
