Are Christians By Defnition Oddballs? | National Catholic Reporter  by Ken Briggs.  MGB: Christianity, which arose in the Greco-Roman world, has a moral system which more or less follows natural law reasoning.  To the extent to which that reasoning has become dominated by authoritarians (which saps rather than strenghtens its legitimacy) and has gone down the wrong path is the extent to which it has failed its membership, who have responded by leaving or stayed and demanded a bit more democracy in both thought and authority, especially regarding child protection.  Of the Evangelicals, I wonder how many are leaving because of the seeming reapproachment with Rome - or because they have found the racists roots in some of their Southern conferences and found found them putrid?  What shocks me, frankly, are the ones who stay - although many joining the Emergent Church.
