Nirvana or Transformation?
I just read a beautifully written post about Buddhism here: http://thistimethisspace.com/2012/05/08/finding-my-path/ I wrote the following response: Greetings Timethief. First of all let me say that British Columbia is without a doubt the most beautiful place on earth, and I’ve seen much of the earth. I suspect that there are a few places I haven’t been…
Does Christianity Lead to Material Prosperity?
From The Gospel of Everything Blog: I think the confusion is caused by a faulty understanding of how God views all of life. In contemporary Christianity we have so emphasized “spiritual things†while ignoring the fact that both Jesus and the whole Bible address all of life. We have decided that some areas of our…
Canadian Province Outlaws Teaching that Gay Sex is a Sin
From WND.com: Homeschooling families will soon be forbidden from teaching that homosexual sex is sinful as part of their schooling program, according to the government of Alberta, Canada.

We are not…

Thanks for your reply. I am not sure how to respond to what you have said about the dating of the book not mattering. Understanding…
Judgment at Guantanamo
From Breakpoint.org: An obvious parallel to the upcoming trial in Guantanamo is the Nuremburg trial conducted after the defeat of the Third Reich. There, while the whole world watched, the Allies conducted a very dignified and responsible trial of the Nazi war criminals. It’s one of the most remarkable chapters in the history of Western…
The Cross – Not a Religious Symbol?
So says the European Court of Human Rights! From Breakpoint.org: “Christians believe that everyone is welcome at the foot of the cross — but we also believe with German martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer that ‘When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.’ “That’s why Stanley Fish is right in saying that a crucifix…
