But as a Christian, I do flip to the fundie channels every once in a while for a good laugh. It’s probably very un-Christian, but it amuses me.

And Simen, I also agree that said spammer will turn more people off to Christianity and reinforce the stereotype about this kind of thing. I don’t understand why some forget that relationship is the most powerful medium with people, not spammed links, tracks, or guilt trips.

At least, I don’t remember Jesus doing any of that…. *shrugs*

Peace.

Thank you for accepting the apology. However, I would argue that if I did indeed “attempt to prove God” in my third installment, it was purely unintentional and bereft of any intellectual significance…I was merely trying to share my own experience without any expectation that it would look the same for anyone else. But I definitely catch the irony. ;0)

And let me be the first to agree with bairbresine, or maybe disagree, I’m not sure which…better yet, let me encourage you to NOT watch “christian” television…it is a mockery of Christ and only serves to extend what I believe is everything skewed about what Christ ever intended. It is the antithesis of what Christ set out to give.

Thanks gang…it’s been enlightening.

Eric

My blog got more hits than it has ever gotten for that one post. I was astonished by the number of people who at least took time to look at what was there. It gives me hope for this world where religion seems to be the inspiration for so much discord and violence. We MUST take a look at our own contribution to this enmity in this country. For starters those of you who are not familiar with fundamentlist christian thinking can tune into a christian television network. Half an hour or an hour of that should give you a good idea of what is being preached from the pulpit about Islam and Muslims in general.
