I told my wife that the "Case for Christ" wasn't really convincing me of anything and that I would probably place myself in the Deist category of religious classification. She started me on another book "Mere Christianity", but I didn't find that one especially convincing either.
Angel: You're lying. Gwen: I'm fibbing. It's lying, only classier.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Hmm. Have you tried Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time?
(Though I suspect that Borg is theologically more liberal than your wife, given that his theological leanings are close to my own.)

If I only had a brain...
"Mere Christianity" pisses me off, and I try to be a Christian.
The so-called trilemma, "Lunatic, Liar, or Lord"? doesn't hold up to logical examination.

I am off to pick up teacup boyfriend at work, and then we are off to an artist lecture of some sort. Have a good night everyone.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I saw someone reading Mere Christianity on the bus this morning. Weird. But I had a violently negative response to it myself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay, Lilty!
That's tough, Gud. I hope y'all can overcome your differences. I'm not familiar with the books you've mentioned.

The first and to some extent the second part of it (I'm not finished with the third part yet) seem to be a persuasive argument where you build your agrument and getting the reader to accept one point after another that build on each other. The problem is that I don't think most of his points are complete. In a lot of places he's like it's either A or B, and I'm thinking what about C, D, and E that he didn't mention.
