Also ehrlich - es ist im Moment einfach nicht "meine Zeit" :huh: Das fing letzte Woche Dienstag an, seitdem wäre ich besser im Bett geblieben.

What about moslems and Jews on this board (or some, who live in those cultures and languages) - are those terms developed a similar way?

That was quite revealing. 'No, I'm not really a Christian, but I'm certainly not going to give up that label.' Then you threatened to take it away anyway forcing him to take the pledge, and he dodges the bullet in fear. I've played that game as an atheist not wanting to admit I'm atheist. He's no different, and I think it's probably true of most Christians.

Society is slowly changing though. Not being a badge wearing Christian isn't the social taboo it used to be. That's why their numbers are dwindling. The more their number dwindle, the less fear there is about wearing the badge, and the faster they are on their way out.
