Also, faith. Faith and trust in God's word, and faith that Jesus Christ died for me. I believe the Bible to be the word of God, and thinking his word can be manipulated by man, makes God out to be weak and incompetent. Most of society "appreciates the moral laws of Christianity" but when it comes to the nitty gritty, people naturally don't want a Sovereign God to rule over them, we want to pick and choose beliefs to suit our lives.
