Saturday Thoughts on Religion and Science
Saturday, August 30th, 2008I got into it again a little bit this week with some folks on another blog.

Saturday Thoughts on “Why do Christians Seem So Negative Sometimes?”
Saturday, August 16th, 2008Why do Christians seem so negative sometimes? Why does it seem like Christians are against more things than they’re for?
These are thoughts you sometimes hear expressed by nonChristians. It’s not always based on daily interaction with Christians and might be their perception based on what they see in the media, but sometimes I’ve noticed it [...]
