Why do people always group all Christians into the "yelling street
corner type" just because they believe in Jesus (oops I said Jesus...I
hope that did not "deeply offend" anyone). I know several Christians
that have never engaged in that activity (and they are even educated).
In addition, have you none believers ever asked yourselves why you get
so upset at the mere name of Jesus?

When I was growing up in India I have noticed "serious" Christians
standing
in crowded street corners calling out, "Oh! Sinners!! ....".  Someone
explained
to me at that time, that for them all are sinners, including Christians,
not just
us Hindus.  I guess he was wrong, at least if Ms. Manning is right.  If
she is
right, then there are two kinds of people, Christians and sinners.

Actually, I have heard people categorized into four groups.  It goes
something
like the following.

1. Those who know that they know.
2. Those who don't know that they know.
3. Those who know that they don't know.
4. Those who don't know that they don't know - these are
the cocky people who like to stand in street corners and
shout at a lot of people.
