		<description><![CDATA[The fifth perception of Christians noted in unChristian is the they are too political.  This has become a huge issue recently and was greatly seen in the last few presidential elections.  Young adults have begun to closely associate Christians with a political party which creates lots of problems.  The main problem is that they see [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The third perception of Christians as presented in unChristian is that Christians are antihomosexual.  This perception comes from Christians tending to harp on this particular sin over all the rest.  Christians also tend to further promote their negative view of homosexuals by making jokes about them and treating them differently from everyone else. Christians look down on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The second issue addressed by the book unChristian is the &#8220;get saved&#8221; mentality of evangelism in the church.  This is something that is really driving young adults who are outside the church away from Christianity.  The problem is that in our seeking to fulfil the mission of Jesus Christ of to the nations we have [...]]]></description>
