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.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[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.

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.

"Mere Christianity" pisses me off, and I try to be a Christian.
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.
