What this blog is about

I've tried to blog before, but usually I just give up after a while. I think I'm gonna try to make a "go" at it again. The purpose of this blog will be to examine issues of the Christian faith that are tough and confusing, and to think through many unexamined assumptions that Christians often have.

Another thing that I would like to do is examine this Christian subculture that we have created, which we equate with the "straight and narrow" way. When Christians don't think like we do about certain issues, when they deviate from Christian subculture, a lot of times we criticize their commitment to Jesus and look down on them. Maybe we should look at ourselves instead more often, and question whether our convictions and practices are right.

I'd be surprised if many people actually read this blog, but if you do, then cool. Maybe we can have some good discussions. I will try to keep it interesting and helpful.

  1. Good to see you're struggling through it, Eric. I had to get away from all of the disagreeing and debating in order to make sense of things myself. I am on extended hiatus from organized church attendance for the foreseeable future. There's just too much noise generated to keep one from really thinking through issues and questions. I've gone in search of more thoughtful environments. I'll be following along with your progress, and I may ask a question once in a while.
    I wish you well in your endeavor.
