Bumper Sticker Spirituality - DRAFT of Chapter 6
A draft of Chapter 6 from "Bumper Sticker Spirituality" - talking about that magnanimous concept of sin.Bumper Sticker Spirituality - DRAFT of Chapter 3
A draft of the third chapter of my book "Bumper Sticker Spirituality" talking about whether or not Christians think about the implications to wearing WWJD, using bumper stickers to convey theology, and the idea that God may not vote Republican.An Atheist’s Life of Faith
Does atheism offer a philosophical equivalent to a Christian's life of faith? This essay, a review of the rationalist thinker Bertrand Russell's seminal book Why I Am Not A Christian suggests that Russell lived his own life of faith, in part based on difficulties he rightly saw in Christianity.Bumper Sticker Spirituality - Excerpts from Chapter 3
An Excerpt from my book "Bumper Sticker Spirituality" - Chapter 3: Where I live it is fairly common to see people driving around with various pithy doctrinal statements on their bumper stickers. You can pick yours from the long list of candidates: "Jesus Is My Co-Pilot" or the ubiquitous fish eating Darwin. Maybe this is just me, but aren't these the rough equivalent of flipping someone the bird? My personal favorite is the one that goes something like "In Case of Rapture This Car Will Be On Auto-Pilot." I wonder if we think about how that comes across to others: in the case of the Rapture my two-and-a-half tons of aluminum and sheet metal will be flying down the road at fifty-five miles an hour crashing into the nearest oncoming piece of traffic - maybe even that nice school bus load of innocent kids. But isn't that the irony in the bumper sticker? Because if they were still around after the Rapture they wouldn't be innocent now would they? They had their chance, you mister tailgater, you had your chance - you missed it, I didn't, I'm right, and you're damned. Enjoy eternity - I know I will.About MysteriousFaith
