An interesting documentary I saw this past year was Beware of Christians. It's on Netflix Instantly if anyone is interested in seeing it. Anyway, this documentary is about a few college guys who go around the world trying to get out of their everyday perspective/surroundings/influences of what it means to follow Jesus. They then submerge themselves globally and independently into discovering what a real relationship with Jesus is supposed to look like. This college group also touches on some large issues that concern many people their age, like drinking, dating, identity, and materialism.
In this movie I thought it was really interesting to see how different and alike other cultures are in Christianity to the U.S.. Additionally, here are some interesting quotes from the movie:
- “The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyles. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” ~Brennan Manning
- “Some people don’t follow Christ because of the Christians they know.”
- “Christians are just people who are busy on Sundays.” ~Someone interviewed in Europe
- “The Christian influence in my life was: successful people that loved God that had nice things. It shaped the way I view materialism.”
Just a quick question to dwell in your mind: Do you see much difference in the lifestyles between people who call themselves Christians and people who are not Christian?
