Re: To Christians (not an attack, but an honest query)
I'm betting that while you have abandoned the old theologies because you find them untenable, you have retained something in your heart from the faith. You remain a person concerned about compassion. You continue to bear fruits of the faith in your life. To my way of thinking, theologies are dead things. They come and go. What's in your heart is alive and real. If it's a spirit of compassion, kindness, empathy, tolerance, fairness, "love", then that's where god is. In your Heart. You reveal god to us in your life whether you choose to use the word "god" or not. Why should you settle for some old theologian's archaic description of god when you already know him for who he really is within your heart. If you think Jesus knew the same thing then you're as much a Christian as anybody.
