Welcome to the 8th edition of the

Donald S. Crankshaw, GOD, Back of the Envelope Skeptical, Cynical, Christian? Is it possible for a Christian to be skeptical? How about cynical? Here’s why I consider myself all of those things.

Mumon, NOT, Notes in Samsara “Faith” from a Buddhist perspective From a Buddhist perspective, “faith” in the Christian sense is irrelevant.

SuperPope, GOD, SuperPope: ex Cathedra Faith Grounded in Logic In this post I explain why I believe that faith in an intelligent creator of the cosmos is not a faith based in ignorance, and that faith in any other cause is illogical.

Seth, NOT, Spoiled Honey Gooey Fluids – A Vignette A delightful little allegory for the futility of faith, making fun of both Jehova’s Witnesses and those crazies who say they see images of some virgin. Fun for the whole family!
BK, GOD, CADRE Comments How can a repentant sinner come to faith without rebutting every argument against the existence of God? This post attempts to give them a feeling for why a repentent sinner who comes to faith in Jesus need not counter every argument against Jesus in order to be an intellectually fulfilled Christian.
