Matters of faith and explication.

[pecunium]

I don't tend to wear my religious beliefs on my sleeve (my politics tend to be far more visible), but I wish to commend to anyone who thinks the religious of the United States are all raving loons, full of bile and self-righteousness, the following.

Slacktivist


I do this not because I share his faith (Mine is religious leanings are more heterodox, and Catholic than his) but because he explains things (which I usually agree with) so well.

A liberal-minded, progressive evangelist, sharing what he sees as the good news.

Not preaching, not even asking that you agree, nor even that you listen. he offers hospitality, and example... hoping that these two things may persuade you of his belief's rightness. A man overflowing with compassion.

And if that fails, well he tried.


It's worth a few minutes of your time to try him out for size, at least once. His comments on why some Christians hate gays, but love bacon, will give you ammunition to smack down small-minded religious bigots, so, if you need more encouragement, let that be the reason.

Interesting blog and a good read, thanks for the link. I'm mulling over the difference between serious religious faith and insanity so it's timely as well.
