What a trite and irrelevant response after such a strong worded and damning claim.
Which brings me round to one of my own "hey, christians explain this" musings.
What is it about christianity that compels some of it;s adherents to react so violently and incoherently when confronted with competition for meaning and value? Is it anything about christianity itself..or is that more a quirk of the individual..that can be separated from their beliefs? Even deeper..are those christians who see no issues with transcendent value or meaning apart from the christian god doing or believing something wrong..and if so, who should correct them in that misapprehension, and how?
