I'm rather dumbfounded at how spend time at of the troupe to this blog, some of whom are my UFO friends, profess to be atheists.I shan't name them, but you know who upper limit of them are. They are not "in-the-closet" atheists by any avenue.At the especially time, spend time at physicists and scientists, generally, say they are atheists to boot. But their actions belie such a declare.At a intuitive level, science, extra physicists, are believers in a matchless deity and all their algebraic scheming and theories are a flush for that deity.Perceive a group of NASA scientists a long time ago a space dig or taste is successful. They shout and get impressive, notably once fundamentalist Christians at a church courtyard a long time ago someone is cured by an evangelist.But that professed statement...

According to Stevencarrwork, a commenter on the amusing article by PZ Myers, The Courtier's Reply over at Richard Dawkins' website:There are no facts to decide what is good theology and what is bad theology.Good theology is what you can sell to the believers.Bad theology is what does not sell. Actually this is wrong. Yes, OK, so according to atheists there is no objective reality which theology describes (and as a non-theist myself, I am inclined to agree). But some theology is definitely far more harmful than other theology, and some theology can be beneficial. For instance, the kind of theology that says that God dislikes LGBT people is obviously harmful; whereas the kind of theology that says God is Nature and Nature is God, or that God is Love and Love is God (and not a person) is harmless,...

Much grief has come to the church because of immature understandings of the nature and purpose of spiritual gifts. Churches have tried to set people free to use their gifts only to see them used in an unloving, even destructive, manner. Pride, a critical spirit, even misplaced enthusiasm can undo even the most selfless acts.These problems could be avoided if love of neighbor was the primary motivating force in these acts of service. The discovery and use of these gifts is wonderful, but without love they divide ratherthan unite the body of Christ.Paul's inclusion of an expanded treatment of the place of love in the exercise of spiritual gifts (1 Cor. 13) is compelling evidence that from the beginning of church history immaturity and selfishness could lead to abuse of spiritual power. A "charismatic"...

THIS POST WILL EXPLAIN AND REVEAL THE IMPOSSIBLE TO THE WORLD. Life is a changing matter. Nothing is constant and nothing remains the same. That is what makes of impossible an illusion. That is why we cannot guarantee anything. We change, our feelings do, our attitudes do. The whole universe is changing. What you think could not happen remains that way for the circumstances of today. A simple change that affects a far element could cause a domino effect and change all your life. An unknown gets sick, somewhere somehow, you get the job instead of him. Your partner shows more interest to financial security, turns to be obsessed with money. You leave him and you find your soul mate. Miracles happen every day we just do not notice them. We do not know our real abilities : abilities of our mind...

Last year I reviewed John Dominic Crossan's and Marcus Borg's First Christmas. Now that it's Christmas time again, perhaps some of you would like to read the review to see if this would be a resource worth pursuing.Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan. "The First Christmas: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus' Birth". San Francisco: HarperOne, 2007. x + 259 pp.In the popular mind the Christmas story as symbolized by the cr`eche involves Joseph, Mary, and the little baby Jesus lying in a manger (feeding trough), surrounded on one side by shepherds and by three kings on the other. Of course there are the requisite barnyard animals standing around like movie extras. Above this scene flies the tiny cherubic angel. That such a scene is at best a conflation of the gospel texts doesn't seem...
