Some Comments and Goals

So, what is a Christian? What makes this person different? Why is your religion so important? Why are Christians so intolerant? These and other topics will be explored, and hopefully the reader will be challenged in why they believe what they believe.

Sometimes its not so much what do you believe, but why? How did this person reach this particular conclusion? The rules of logic and in particular the presentation of facts are not changed because a certain value or belief structure is being presented.

Good manners are expected.  No one is expected to change an opinion based on the words here.  The goal is to bring up issues and topics, discuss, and hopefully be stronger in what is believed.  And, if by chance a new concept is explored, forcing a re-evaluation  of what has previously been believed, all should be stronger for this.

So, the first question to be presented, and answered later is this, what logical basis can you present for some of what you believe?  There are two Latin phrases which will help, again posted later.  PLEASE!!! Please do not use these a crutch for what is believed, but only a starting point in developing and explaining a personal belief system.

And yes, systematization of personal beliefs will be explored later as well.

No sermons (some may be quoted though) but a time for some serious thought in a fun way.
