		<description><![CDATA[One reason that I don’t understand why some Christians fear open-ended scientific investigation is that there is only one source of truth – God.&#160; Every path that leads in the direction of truth leads in the direction of God.&#160; Any open-minded researcher who does not contort his particular path to point in a philosophically preferred <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/christianity/forgiveness-by-any-other-name-is-still-liberating/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The title of this post is my own; I doubt my &#8220;guest&#8221; here would agree with it. But I think that threats of retaliation and un-Biblical litmus tests do indeed suggest some level of toxicity. I have previously written about ill effects of dogmatic insistence on a young Earth and a literal six day creation. <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/christianity/a-toxic-orthodoxy/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As an academic (Computer Information Systems), I usually appreciate other academics&#8217; creativity. I enjoy novel ways of thinking that lead to interesting and maybe useful results. But not when the academic is trying to make the Bible hard to understand.
The utterings of theologians and Bible scholars must be approached with caution and often taken with <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/christianity/pcusa-obfuscating-the-bible/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

I was an indifferent high school student and flunked out of college three times. I went from there to being a hippie and borderline bum. <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/christianity/my-brief-testimony/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By &#8220;creationism&#8221; I don’t mean the fundamental truth that the universe was created from nothing by an intentional act of God. I accept this truth without reservation. I take &#8220;creationism&#8221; to mean a strictly literal interpretation of the seven days of creation described in Genesis 1:1-2:3. I would not dissuade anyone who embraces this understanding <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/christianity/christianity-whats-wrong-with-teaching-creationism/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I occasionally look in on CNN&#8217;s token conservative, Glenn Beck. A few weeks ago, he briefly interviewed Rabbi Yisroel Weiss of Jews United Against Zionism.  Weiss had gained some notoriety for his criticism of Zionism in the face of Israel&#8217;s war with Hezbollah.  Beck&#8217;s manhandling of his guest led me to the conclusion <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/christianity/christianity-in-defense-of-rabbi-weiss/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>
