		<description><![CDATA[Many Christian people don&#8217;t worship God, they worship the Bible. I assume the same is true of other sacred books such as the Koran, the Torah, and the Bagavhad Gita, although it wouldn&#8217;t HAVE to be this way. A particular set of circumstances have risen up in the US to bring about this result. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Christians love feeling guilty. In fact, they positively crave it. In fact, to Christians, guilt feels like devotion. The popularity of books like Francis Chan&#8217;s Crazy Love and David Platt&#8217;s Radical testifies to this. Anyone who speaks or writes of all the ways the church is blowing it, falling short, and insufficient is almost destined [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently a pastor in Texas is going to set up a bed on the roof of his church and hit the sack with his wife there for 24 hours. The 24 hour bed-in will be broadcast on the Internet. The date corresponds with a book the pastor will be releasing about sex. Source: http://thesexperiment.com/ Really? When [...]]]></description>

Whether or not such people are praying or not, God works through human beings, and it is only as each human being works from a place [...]]]></description>

Some believe if they work hard they will eventually succeed. Others believe in fate &#8212; that life is already laid out for them and there&#8217;s nothing they can do to change [...]]]></description>

Don&#8217;t be afraid!  The word Orthodoxy probably scares a lot of people.  Orthodoxy is simply the state of holding right beliefs.

		<description><![CDATA[I should begin by saying in my opinion YES, absolutely, Jesus is the only way to God.  But it’s not enough to say this because in saying it you haven’t really said anything.  All you’ve said is that Jesus is the way to God.  You have said nothing about what this actually means. There are [...]]]></description>
