Caraleisa has reposted her essay
Repost: Sick and Tired of God-stuff; an open letter to theists. This is something she first wrote several years ago and has reposted unchanged. I think every Christian should read it.

It’s the best deal in the…
Michael Patton, who often steps into controversial issues (which I do not mean as a criticism), asks why people love C. S. Lewis, but hate Rob Bell. His conclusion is that this is because Bell’s ideas that push the boundaries characterize his ministry, unlike those of C. S. Lewis. I must admit that I’ve read…
Thanks for the links, both of them.
