What is Christianity, anyway?
So yeah, I've been reading Brian McLaren... Finding Faith and A New Kind of Christian. Brian talks about the questions I think about, the questions I think young people think about when they hear the word "Christian". See -- you just thought about that word and some of its implications. Brian is trying to look past that. He likes C.S. Lewis. I do too. C.S. Lewis did some heavy writing on the topic of Christianity back in the 1940's and 50's, also some light writing. Seems maybe ahead of his time.
Anyway, here's some other links that are worth checking out...
http://snapshotsofgod.com
www.evolutionoftruth.com
and of course there's
www.anewkindofchristian.com
Check that stuff out. Drop me a line, leave me a note, ask a question, share a thought!

A lil' about my thinkin
So here's some things I think... I haven't figured out how to do the links yet, but you could prolly just type them in if you're really curious.
For a fun, equal-opportunity Bush/Kerry-bashing fun song, check out
www.jibjab.com/thisland.html
Also always fun is www.dancingbush.com
I am a registered voter, but am not registered Republican or Democrat. I listen to Rush but it usually ticks me off. I also listen to NPR. CNN and Fox provide my news. I saw Michael Moore's F911 and was left with questions, but not much new.
I don't think we should have invaded Iraq. Yes, it's good that SH is no longer in power, but I don't think we had good reasons for going in in the first place, and I'm uncomfortable with an attitude that says "The ends justifies the means".
I don't think the state (of Pennsylvania) should have passed legislation allowing for slots... I think we've been deceived and will be reaping a lot of nasties because of gambling.
I don't think the US Constitution should be amended in order to define marriage.
In fact, I'd even entertain the possibility that the Constitution has served its country well and is ready to retire, and step aside for a new Constitution.
I think we're on the brink of a new world in terms of thinking (religiously, politically, globally). The transition will be painful, but I believe the fruit will be sweet. I hope to taste of it in my lifetime.
I am a hoper. Life is good.
