Why I Do Care

In response to the article I wrote called “Why Do I Care,” it became clear that for many, a generic answer to why someone should follow God left out a crucial aspect: Love.

This was truly a keen observation, as the logical chain I constructed focused primarily on God as creator and enforcer. Yet that is not all.

It’s Raining Cats and Dogs…Run For Your Lives!!!

Consider this fictitious journal entry:

“I had a horrible day today.  This morning I lost my job.  I went out to lunch with my girlfriend, and when I began telling her about it, she interrupted me and told me she wanted to break up.  On my way home from that wonderful lunch, I lost control of my car and spun off the road into a ditch.  To make matters worse, it was raining cats and dogs.” Read more »

Oh Lordy, Lordy

This is gonna be the last YouTube video in the series on the general biblical storyline. I realize that I am leaving out the material at the end of the story referring to the Consummation, but that is because I havent read enough on the topic at this point to feel qualified to speak on it. Eventually I do hope to post on that, especially since there are some pretty nutty views on it, but not yet. In the mean time, enjoy this video that is a follow up and clarifier to last week’s. I do present some new information that is gonna be on the less popular side, so that may end up being the focus for our discussion. As always, let me know if there are any suggestions, questions, and/or discrepancies.

The New Testament In Five and Half Minutes

This video is my attempt at capturing the flavor of the New Testament in a short video. I will obviously have to skip over some things, but in many ways this will likely be a controversial video because there are probably many ideas as to what the main point of the New Testament is. Feel free to leave any comments, questions and discrepancies here and we can dialog further on the issue. Also, I go so quickly that I may not have articulated my point as well as if I had, say, 20 minutes. So if any clarification needs to be given, let me know.











      THE SEMINARIAN WAGER
    
Everyone has faith. Regardless of how our faith developed, we should be willing to critically analyze those beliefs. While analyzing the validity of our faith, we should also be willing to analyze the validity of our doubts and cultural preconditions. If we are willing to do this, we wager that over time, the roots of our faith will strengthen toward truth, and will not be uprooted during challenging times. This site aims to provide worthwhile discussion regarding a critical evaluation of both religious belief and modern doubts.
