Your blog seems to be an interesting place for the discussion of important topics.

Might I ask … How on earth you became associated with the cast of characters that exist at a different web site we are both familiar with where a certain moderator [and what seems to be a rather small band of cohorts] conducts his affairs in a decidely less-than Christian manner?

As I thought from reading your cogent comments in that location … whether or not I agree with all of them is irrelevant … you, sir, are a highly intelligent person and it’s a pleasure to have made your acquaintance via the ethernet.

Shalom,
Clergy Guy

Thanks for expressing your respect. I do my best to communicate in the same manner over the anonymity of the internet as I do in person, i.e., respectfully. Far too often, discussions between atheists, agnostics, and religious folks degenerate to the ad hominem level. I appreciate your resistance to that, as well as that of many of the UF commenters. Let’s hope that we can continue that tone in the future.

Anyway, welcome. Feel free to chime in when I do post, usually a couple times per week.

Now if I could just post as often here as I do at UF…then I’d have an exciting blog, too!

Just stopping by to say “Hey”, and find out a little more about where you are coming from.

We’ve been yapping over at Unreasonable Faith, and I wanted to say I respect the tone you take in discussions there.

It is getting harder and harder for me to find faithful believers who actually challenge me to think, and to probe my own beliefs. Congratulations on being one.

I, too, was born and raised in a Christian home by Christian parents with Christian Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles, Cousins, and on down the family line.

All of that makes questioning that faith even more difficult, and painful, but I have found it worth it to live in harmony with observable reality.
