I think it's funny that you failed to mention that your trip west through the snowstorms was because your 17 year old girlfriend was pregnant- the adventure we were most unprepared for, parenthood! :) Love ya!

It never seems to occur to most people though. I'm not sure what that says for the whole concept. I've seen a couple churches succeed, and I've seen a couple fail, and I've seen a lot of them just founder.... Mostly for the reasons outlined here. It’s a really natural thought process for me.

It seems like a reasonable assumption that acknowledging that we have different sects wouldn't mean that we have whole different understandings of what sin is, and how to deal with it. On its face, it seems really silly. B) I love the parallel with animals. Tell me more. C) That quiz is fundamentally flawed... but by luck, it still got you right. You share all of the virtue of the Liberal Mainlines, and fortunately none of their vices :) D) I'd rather have you than anyone else commenting here... we started this site as a way to share these things with each other... Thanks beautiful.

Something I wouldn't have thought about otherwise, but I agree with you. Very interesting. Something I wouldn’t have thought about otherwise, but I agree with you.

I think that I disagree with your premise that a group of people hearing about Christianity the first time would think punishment would be more ritualized than it is. I think every living group differers in their response to "rule breaking". Some animals end up taking the life of other animals, some just shun, others bite and some vocalize. The next thing I found myself doing was defending the stupid group your quiz put me into...damn you for stereotyping me (incorrectly) and then making me feel like it's my duty to defend that group. :) This will have to hold you over until smart people read and comment on this article.....I think I am unable to comprehend most of your writings, but I still feel like I get something out of them.

I'm not sure how I missed it back in the day. Perhaps it was censored out by my mother. She had a tendency to be offended by some strange things (Robert Munsch, anyone?). But I hope your opinions never persuade me to become more critical of the mechanics of writing (unless it is my own). I have always been very easily entertained by books, but I have noticed that is changing, and I do not wish for my options to become too limited. Obviously I like the new format. We'll see how long you survive my inane commentary... Perhaps this will finally persuade me to read James and the Giant Peach. I’m not sure how I missed it back in the day.
