Its ironic so much of this post is agreeable to me having lived my whole life as, God forbid, an evangelical. <BR/><BR/>Somehow well-intentioned people have elevated values of the rights of the unborn and warmongering above the quality of life for the world. The Bible directs people to live at peace with one another. Further, Adam & Eve were told by God to steward the garden of eden.<BR/><BR/>In the chaotic state of Christianity today, I would hate to see the Church or any religion, for that matter, attempt to oversee our collective fight to restore the planet.<BR/><BR/>Returning to the ideas of fundamentalism...ultimately I suppose a responsible christian would seek to hold in tension faith and reason. Leaving this tension leaves one in either mindless passion or lifeless self-reliance. Both end in apathy and even hate for anyone in disagreement...and we all know where that could lead us...Dan Ehrmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14999955485122334994noreply@blogger.com
