Christianity Isn't What You Think It Is And That's the Problem

We talk a good deal in this time about whether Denmark is a Christian country, and about what Christianity actually means to us anymore, and the longer those discussions run, the clearer it becomes to me that we are rarely talking about the same thing.

Before we can agree or disagree about Christianity's place, we must first know what it is we are talking about.

So let us try something else together.

What do you think - or what have you been told - that one believes in, if one is Christian?

If you had to name the three most important things, what would you list?

You do not need to be a believer to answer. I am only interested in your understanding regardless of who you are and what you believe - and I am most interested in what lies uppermost in your head.

That is, what you would say if someone stopped you on the street and you had seven seconds. And you may answer even if the three things are only something you consider negative.

Three things.

It takes half a minute.
