Quote:Now, in order to develop my understanding of atheism, I'm currently reading Tim O'Neill and listening to debates featuring Bart Ehrman, Sam Harris, Kai Nielson and Christopher Hitchens. Richard Dawkins is on my "to-do" list. That in addition to participating in this forum and reading books by Christians on the subject of Atheism.
Which Christian authors are you currently reading in order to expand your depth of knowledge about what they believe?
No idea where this dick-measuring contest came from; I don't feel the need to impress you with a list of authors I may or may not be reading. I'm literally just pointing out that you're either mistaken about the claims being made, or willfully misrepresenting them. If it's the former, then fair enough everyone makes mistakes, but if it's the latter then it's more intentional and far more annoying and dishonest.
Tell you what...just keep your eyes open for every post in which someone asserts that "X (or lack of X) proves God does not exist."

At any rate, for a more 'down to earth' question, how do you feel about women being ordained priests?
Women may not be ordained as priests. This isn't a matter of discipline which the Church can change. Jesus did not ordain women. Neither can we.
The Orthodox and the Catholics have this right; most Protestant denominations have erred on this point.
