Christianity? Just A Matter of Opinion, Innit?

It is tragic when you hear somebody expound the view that "Christianity is just a matter of opinion." Nothing could be further from the truth. I am sure that this may be a reasonable conclusion to draw after contact with the many liberal churches in our nation but that does not make it reality!
