text: Well after several days of flack DM have published a response, which besides the two brothers unusual "bent" to all this, at least demonstrates that they are reasonably unbiased. As another "down to earth" and hopefully sensitive and loving Christian, I appreciate Onne's carefully worded response, although personally I would question some aspects of his atonement theology. 
  As Christians we have much to apologise for and to be embarrassed about, in the way that the faith has been "rammed down others throats". So, even if its rather meaningless, I apologise to any readers who have been subject to such action. Christians have behaved very badly over the last 200 years (as one reader commented) and the faith has become distorted and damaged. (think of the ghastly American tele-evangelists!) We need to get back to understanding our doctrines in terms of the attributes of God. "He" is not what many Christians think he is!
