 IF JESUS WAS SO GOOD, WHY HAVE HIS FOLLOWERS BEEN SO BAD? Yes, sorry about that. Many people and organisations throughout history have been inspired by Jesus to do wonderful things and change the world for the better. Many others have done all kinds of evil and stupid things in his name. What's going on here? One answer is that the church has been around for 2,000 years and presently has 2 billion members. Any body that size and age is going have a mixed record. Another is that it's always hard for ordinary followers to live up to the standards of their extraordinary leaders. And every movement, however good, risks falling into the wrong hands at some point. What would Marx have thought of Stalin's Russia, or Muhammad of Al-Qaeda, or Moses of the current state of Israel? Basically, people are a problem. More questions about Jesus today |
