I was raised Christian, and my sister is a born again, fundamental Christian. My issues with today’s Christian organisations is that they use tax free money to influence science, politics, and liberties. I am all for any religion as a means of spirituality, and have one Christian friend whom I admire a lot for his ability to believe in God, and doing without the need to impose his faith on the world. Sounds like you’d be a great second friend of this rare type.

I wasn’t trying to offend you. I apologize if I have. I read this post and then linked over to your blog and read your post on Al Sharpton and Black people. I felt compelled to respond to both posts. In a way, your writing is provocative in that it provokes others to respond. Although I disagree with some of your statements I still responded, which, in my modest opinion, is a good thing in that the lines of communication are open. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Peace,
Jason

regarding your comment about my article, I suppose if one tries hard enough they can become offended by anything.

Have a great day, and God bless.

“Atheism” is as broad a term as “theism.” I could never admire a person just because they claim to be an atheist or a theist.

You are treating atheism like it is a supportive organization bent on self-improvement. The term “atheism” merely means “godless.” Nothing more. I am surprised that those who consider themselves atheistic are not more offended by your caricature of a large, diverse group.

Some atheists consider morality to be merely a socially-constructed term. Some atheists believe that pedophilia should be legal. Others believe that prayer in school is fine as long as all religious groups are allowed to express their faith equally. Atheists are a large, diverse group. To reiterate, the term “atheism” simply means “godless.”

More fire!
