Have Any Doubts?

 I regularly search for posts that include my church Washington Cathedral in Redmond, WA.  Usually when I get the results I find that people are talking about Washington National Cathedral in Washington DC.  That seems to be a very popular church to blog about.  This post I found said Washington Cathedral not Washington National Cathedral and I wondered if she was talking about my church.  To figure it out I had to read the post and I believe she is not talking about Washington Cathedral in Redmond, WA.  However in beginning the reading I got kind of caught up here in what she was writing.  I found this post to be interesting and bring up some good thoughts.

Link to You Mean I Can Type Anything In Here?: Reasons Why I Dislike Christianity

I too have many doubts about the religion of Christianity.  I probably could write at least as good a statement against the religion of Christianity as this person.  In fact maybe some day I will do so although I have instead been thinking of writing about why I love the religion of Christianity. 

You may notice that I keep saying the religion of Christianity because to me that is very different from a faith in God, His Son Jesus and His Sprit at work on this planet today.  I completely separate the two.  The religion of Christianity lends itself to scholarly exploration and often deserves stinging criticism such as this above post.  The faith involved in Christianity is completely illogical.  Spock (the Vulcan) would not find any use for it at all.  Faith makes no sense what-so-ever and yet makes ones life make sense if they have it.  It settles down all fears (or at least the aspect of faith called Love does).  It provides direction and purpose for life.  As I say those are things that don't make sense and yet if you try to take it away from somebody that has it they will do almost anything to keep it.  And unfortunately in history some have done some pretty horrible things in the name of faith.  Of course when they do they usually organize as a religion and there we get into the problems of this post. 

I thought this was very good and wanted to pass it along.  I will delve into this exploration a little more myself soon.
