Chance to better theism
#9
RE: Chance to better theism
@min, lol I've already gotten my preliminary topics approved by the board, pastor and they're perfectly in line with the Church's principles. Some people who call themselves Christians really aren't opposed to questioning their own beliefs, they just don't know how. No worries on the Tar and feathering there.

@tav- true, luckily I don't think I'll find too many, if any, of those in my church. You never know though.

So ethics from a secular perspective
Multiple POV's of religion including religious texts and speakers
yes to mutual respect, no to over-enthusiasm to the point of closed-mindedness

All things I already have.... anything else?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
