Actually, I chuckled a few times while reading but this one stood out. As for the musical, unless you go on tour, I'll just have to wait for the DVD! But I'm definitely intrigued. :) “That’s why I’m in Driscoll’s corner, even when I would probably be beaten up by his “dudes” for about half of what I believe.”

So many times, so many places, trying to discuss these sort of ideas turns into a cluster where one or both sides START the conversation by screaming "Heretic!" and insults and it goes down hill from there. I enjoy discussing theology with people, even those who disagree with me. There are LOTS of gray areas in our Bible; lots of places where Christian conscience comes into play. I can't stand people who want to argue over those areas. Discuss, yes. Get angry and mean....no. I also hate when people ignore the verses/books/etc that contradict their chosen view. Whether I agree with Michael or the posters here, I always know that it will be civil (mostly) and usually well thought out. It's why I come here every day.

I appreciate the insights into my previous religious home. (and I still wish that the best of all Christian denominations could come together as one.) But that won't happen down here. (Sad to say.)

In fact, page upon page could be added to what you said. The plain fact is that the evangelical church in America is "of" the world, but not "in" the world, just the opposite of what Jesus said we should be. Of course, that is only one side of the story, but it's the side that will kill us, so we'd better face up to it. Michael, I don’t think you overstated your case.

Leslie Wed, 08 Oct 2008 01:39:12 +0000 http://www.internetmonk.com/?p=2415#comment-301270 On my blog, I delete the obnoxious folks' comments too. For that matter, I delete some of the positive ones that I don't feel contribute anything. I've lost a few folks for <i>that</i> reason, but if they read a person's blog simply so that they can make comments back, they really need to get a life. When they tell me they won't be reading my blog any more, I frequently wonder what sort of "punishment" that is. They're denying me their obnoxious, critical, cynical, backbiting, pessimistic, insulting, small-minded, tiny-faithed, know-it-all, writing-posts-that-go-on-for-ten-pages presence? Thank you, Lord Jesus. Punishment like that I can rejoice in. Keep talking hard. It's why I read. On my blog, I delete the obnoxious folks’ comments too.

I have, I think, the best discussions on the web, with the fewest problems of conversations turning hostile and personal. There's a reason: I moderate strictly when I need to do so. So the comments in question don't appear.
