The Skeptics Bible
http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/abs/long.htm This is an interestig one. Admitedly I’ve only just started making my way through Genesis, but it does show what many people think about the Bible. Generically we (that is, Christians), are taught that mostly the New Testatment is the bit that we should follow. I really need to put some time aside and…

God’s Gift.
Found in Fortune: What we Are is God’s gift to us. What we Become is our gift to God.

YAQ
Those who believe that they believe in God, but without passion in their hearts, without anguish in mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, without an element of despair even in their consolation, believe only in the God idea, not God Himself. – Miguel de Unamuno, Spanish philosopher and writer

Genious!
How it should be. http://www.nativevillage.org/Inspiration-/native_american_code_of_ethics__.htm A little longer than “Be Excellent To Each Other”, but heck, it’s not bad. Black Xanthus.

A Critique of God
http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=70390909 Found on the site “Ethical Atheists”. It claims to be the only anthology that is a critique of the exsistence of God (the book, not the site). I thought I’d give it a read, or at least, try to squeeze it in in my already buzzy, and full, reading list. It deserves to be…

Bible Arguments
http://www.ethicalatheist.com/docs/religion_and_science.html An interesting site. Those of you that regularly read this blog (which I think amounts to my mum =) ), will note that I’m generally open minded. This site, however, is a direct oposite for all the things I’ve ranted about Fundies. Indeed, most of the articles on this site managed to annoy both…

Testing the Faith?
http://www.vexappeal.com/lolgod/uploaded_images/groundfaith-714848.jpg Of course… as I was once told “This is God’s Little Joke”. Work out for yourself what I mean by that. BX

On Eating of Animals
Seen on a signature, of (as far as I can gather) G.Pitman on the RedHat List “There’s plenty of room for all God’s creatures… Right next to the mashed potatoes.” Interesting to think that we had the passage from Mathew on Sunday about Jesus saying that it was not what went into a man that…

Never Forget
Unforgettable Photos We often think that things we shouldn’t forget came only out of the Second World War. Visions of concentration camps. Visions of the mass graves. The pain fades over the years. These photos show things havn’t changed. I have more to pray for, it seems BX

Prospective Ordinand Open Day: Is God Calling you to Ministry
Turns out, the Answer may be yes. But then, I kind of knew that anyway. This was a day being run by the Diocess where all those of us with questions can go and see people who have been through the process, where we can meet people at the same level as us, and generally…

The Thorny Issue
http://www.gaychurch.org/Gay_and_Christian_YES/calling_the_rainbow_nation_home/6_gac_celibacy.htm Sometimes things surprise me. This article more than any I’ve read in a long time. Especially as I found it while looking for “Bible passages to sum up a person” for the up coming funeral. I’m sure there’s some random Fundie rant in that one somewhere. There are two things I’d like the reader…

YAQ
We may not be able to persuade Hindus that Jesus and not Vishnu should govern their spiritual horizon, nor Moslems that Lord Buddha is at the center of their spiritual universe, nor Hebrews that Mohammed is a major prohpet, nor Christians that Shinto best expresses their spiritual concerns, to say nothing of the fact that…

Romans 12
A quick note as a personal reminder (because I left my notebook behind). Romans 12 == be excellent to each other. Well worth reading. SK

True Christian?
This Test is designed to catch out “true christians”, those that I refert to as Fundies. Those that pick and choose bits of the bible, and hold only those bits up as true. Read it all, my friends. All the way to the bottom, then react. SK
