One of the biblical writers, Paul, wrote in his Roman letters:
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

Paul couldn't have anticipated this "Sonseed" moment.
There are tons of embarrassing moments in Christianity. The Crusades and the Inquisition come to mind... While I didn't have anything to do with the methodical torture and killing of Jews, nor a holy war against our Muslim brothers, I do play bass in the band at church.
I would like apologize in advance for 30 years from now when someone looks back at what we do and mocks. I'm sure we'll deserve it.
