What Do You Want?
Well, we here at COAS have written on several different topics that have all generated some good discussion. I guess at this point since several of us are wrapping up on-going series, we are curious what topics regarding Christianity you all want to hear. What questions most vex you? What ways do you most appreciate seeing your questions answered (biblical, theological, philosophical, personal, historical, etc.)? Keep in mind that you dont have to just pick one, you can ask as many questions and enjoy being responded to in as many ways as possible. We just want to make sure that we are sensitive to the issues people are dealing with.
Spring Break at COAS
Our production of articles has been a little lackluster the past week or so because we were in midterms and are now taking some greatly needed rest. But the whole concept of a Spring Break got me thinking this very important question “If you could go anywhere and do anything for a week, what would you do?” (And bear in mind there is a G-Rating for this thread)
Why I Do Care

Practical Epistemology
I know what you’re thinking.
“How can a post on epistemology be practical?” After all, isn’t philosophy only useful in ivory towers? I think this has been a major flaw in philosophical thought for many people. Philosophy has no value if it is not lived out; if it does not affect the way we live our lives. And let’s face it, a lot of us like to make statements in papers, in posts, or commenting on blogs that just aren’t livable.
A philosophy must be lived out. If I argue that no knowledge is possible, I need to live that idea out (otherwise I am a hypocrite). If I believe there is a God who made the world, but that God has stepped back and is no longer involved, I need to live that out. If I believe there is a God who is involved in the world, I should probably figure out how he is involved and act upon that.
