There is one extremely dear person whose journal shall remain nameless (because this person truly is very cool, but if they choose to react to this, it's not my place to say them nay) who had , in their journal, one of the most condescending things I've ever read. To wit, referring to Christ as "An imaginary friend". In other words, if you believe in Christ you're displaying the approximate maturity of a preschooler. Nice.
I've heard that before. It made me wonder if the person who said it was feeling so hurt at not being able to feel a higher power that they had to lash out somehow.
BTW, heard this great interview on NPR on Wednesday night (December 17, 2003) on Fresh Air. Bowman and Gordon Gray professor of religious studies at UNC-CH, Bart D. Ehrman. He was discussing his book Lost Christianities: The Battle for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew. I highly recommend listening to the interview. (The book is now on my wishlist.)
