Summary

This quote suggests that the term "Christianity" is flawed because it implies a collective identity when in reality there has only been one true Christian, Jesus Christ, who sacrificed himself on the Cross.

The quote also highlights the centrality of Jesus' death in defining Christian beliefs and practices.

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half-full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half-empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
