		<description><![CDATA[Today I got a tweet (via @EveDestiny) from @DanielFlorien:
Ask God, &#8220;What is the distance from the earth to the sun?&#8221; and you get silence.  Google, however, answers instantly.

I loved this one, because it speaks to the apologetic that I used to use when I was of that ilk, where the Earth is &#8220;just the right distance from the Sun,&#8221; and on and on and on, about the planet and life (always read &#8220;as we know it,&#8221; which to the thinking mind is clearly a red herring when it comes to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh, man&#8230;  I had this all written out, and then the discussion was closed!  I couldn&#8217;t let it disappear, since I can never write the same thing twice.  So, this will be my notepad.

&#8220;I think that it is ridiculous to assume a moral code if you do not believe that you will be held accountable to it.&#8221;
So, &#8220;not out of fear of divine reprisal&#8221; is not the point you started off with. However, I may be reading you wrong.  So, I will rebut with this; You say that you would ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[October 22, for all you date-watchers, is the expected return of Jesus Christ.  Well, of course, it depends on what your definition of &#8220;is&#8221; is.
In 1844, William Miller (after several other dates he prophesied had come and gone) convinced a large group of people that today was the day of Christ&#8217;s return.  While the cuckoo clock sound is ringing in your head, no doubt, just think of this as the end of a slippery slope, and work your way back.  At what point did it start to sound unreasonable?  Slightly ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have finally gotten around to replying to the remarks made to my original &#8220;Perplexing&#8221; post (link). I have not approved any of the comments for several reasons.  To wit: one was from a Catholic, another made an unfriendly remark about a prominent Catholic.  And while I don&#8217;t judge my friends, neither do I facilitate flame wars &#8211; not that these two would flame up, necessarily; in fact I think they would be good friends.  I am just done with online conflict.  I am thus pulling the comments into a ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Humanism, our expectation is to act as if we were humans &#8211; and we succeed, every time.
In Christianity, their expectation is to act as if they were Christ-like &#8211; and they fail, every time.
How can the system be designed to fail and be expected to work for people?

		<description><![CDATA[When I was a Christian, I was always ready to jump on any attempt to question Christianity or any assertion of one&#8217;s civil rights that ran counter to MY interpretation of the intent of the New Testament as &#8220;persecution.&#8221;  Now, when I see the word &#8220;persecution&#8221; &#8211; especially when used by those claiming to be persecuted &#8211; I immediately start forming questions in my head.  It&#8217;s pretty rare for them to include examples of what they&#8217;re terming as persecution.  Clearly, when you read of Christians and Jews being killed or ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great post on what Nietzsche was really talking about (when he said &#8220;God is dead&#8221;) at Scott Lenger&#8217;s blog (link).  This concept also brings to mind the work of Richard Rubenstein, whose Holocaust theology bears examination by the serious Christian/Jewish apologist.
Also wondering if Run to Win has come across Peter Rollins&#8217; work, as it bears a similarity to something that was said to me in an email upon my atheist-debut.
he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
he tries to tell me what i put inside of me
he&#8217;s ...]]></description>
