In the Spirit

Two, excellent posts by Roderick T. Long.  At least I think they are excellent.  Roderick has been waxing eloquent in regards to religion.  What I find interesting in regards to Roderick’s posts, is, that many Christians will, in all likelihood, be put off by what he has written.  I think that what he has written would be embraced by people with faith.

The posts are titled “Why Jesus is Not God," a title which will definitely raise hackles, and, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry Jesus?," a title which will not lower any hackles raised by the first post.

  1. Roderick T. Long – Why Jesus is Not “God”

    I’d say that Mr. Long is right on the money Mr. Venlet. What do you say?

  2. I think that Long’s analysis shows more rationality than many “believers” are able to muster.  I thanked him for writing the pieces in a personal email.

    Perhaps Mr. Venlet, but I’m not convinced that the “average” Christian is as dogmatic as you might believe.

    In fact, my experience is that the average Christian has no qualms about violating his dogma in favor of what is rational.

    Of course Atheists are another story; without their dogma they cease to exist.
