"Religious Fundamentalists Have a Coherent Worldview"
by leavingwt infundamentalists vs. liberal christians.
while commenting on a recent post at proud atheists, i found myself again reflecting on how i have more respect for fundamentalist christians than the so called liberal christians.
of course, i realize that "respect" isn't the best word here because religious fundamentalists are hardly worthy of respect.

God and Suffering
by AK - Jeff ina few weeks back, in the midst of the haiti tragedy, much discussion took place in cyberland about the tolerance [or indeed the insistence on] suffering by a loving god.

Dawkins: "Pat Robertson is the True Christian"
by leavingwt inhaiti and the hypocrisy of christian theology.
.. needless to say, milder-mannered faith-heads are falling over themselves to disown pat robertson, just as they disowned those other pastors, evangelists, missionaries and mullahs at the time of the earlier disasters.. what hypocrisy.. loathsome as robertson's views undoubtedly are, he is the christian who stands squarely in the christian tradition.
the agonized theodiceans who see suffering as an intractable 'mystery', or who 'see god' in the help, money and goodwill that is now flooding into haiti , or (most nauseating of all) who claim to see god 'suffering on the cross' in the ruins of port-au-prince, those faux-anguished hypocrites are denying the centrepiece of their own theology.
