Is the structure of Christianity self cleansing?

Christianity has a long history of going astray. And when it goes astray, most often, some group of peoples split themselves from the main body of whatever is the established Christian theology at the time. Also, as often as not, the people responsible for the nastiness eventually die or are overthrown and some semblance of sanity returns to the original sect.

The first schism was between the RC church and the eastern rite. Luther, Calvin, others through the years either saw a church going astray, or wanted to bend it’s followers to their own means. Even now, even within individual parishes, congregations, there are people who dislike the actions of their spiritual leaders, and wish to return to the teachings of Christ and away from a purely materialistic culture, or away from what they consider heretical beliefs. Many of those peopel are total nutbags, but far greater numbers of them are prople just trying to be decent to one another.

So: Do you think Christianity is self cleansing?

The K31

Having fired ten rounds through this rifle, I know that if I could only have one rifle, this would be the one.

I didn’t have the confidence in my skills to even attempt the 100 yard range, but I figured maybe I could put them on the paper at 50. So I pinned up some targets- the only thing I had on hand were a bunch of NRA a-36 smallbore rifleA-36

Now, here’s what they look like downrange:tarjetas.JPG

Nephew at the trigger:

I started with six (a full magazine)

Then I shot the last four out of the box.

Ten shots in all. At a target I could barely see. All within a moment of goblin. If I had a target I could see, I can’t imagine how I could do.

All in all? man, I love this rifle. I wish I could lay my hands on one of the sniper versions.

Update: Well, shut my mouth! It seems as if AIM surplus is now out of these fine rifles. I’m damned glad I bought when I did!!
