Anything Goes As Far As Religion Is Concerned
There are some people who think that as far as religion is concerned they can write anything whatsoever.

Using Religion As A Powerbase
Behind the command "Do not call anyone on earth your father, for you only have one Father in heaven" is more than a prohibition to use a particular "title". It is a command not to allow anyone to have power over one. The polemics with the Pharisees -- who bore the titles "Master" "Rabbi" and... Sign in to see full entry.

A Christianity Called Humanism?
Westwend has a blog called "A Christianity Called Humanism." The title makes it seem that "Humanism" is attached to a kind of Christianity.

Using The Word "Church"
We live in a pluralistic world. Whenever we post articles here in Blogit, we should remember that. Whenever I go to the Religion and Spirituality section, I get confused whenever words like "Christianity" and "Church" are used. Right now, there are different forms of Christianity as well as...

A Blast From The Past: A Christian Describes The Christians
Blogit's Religion and Spirituality section thrives with articles posted by believers from different denominations and churches. It is difficult to discern, however, from which denominations and churches they are just from reading posts. True, all posts bear common words which belie a common cultural...

He Would Have Been A Great Blogger
Blaise Pascal would have been a great blogger if they had the internet in those days. I have been going through his "Pensees" and found the following: 370.

More On Church and State
I wrote the following in a recent blog for A View From The Back Row When the Churches oppose gay marriages, it is because they see in it a detraction away from NATURAL law which the State should also look at.

Slashing Your Wrists With A Toothbrush
