The League of the Militant Godless had done their work too well. In the names of reason, science, and liberty they had proved, rather effectively, that good societies need God to survive and that when you have murdered him, staved him, silenced him, denied him to the children, and erased his festivals and his memory, you have a gap that cannot indefinitely be filled by any human , nor anything made by human hands.from The Rage Against God by Peter Hitchens

A New Kind of Christianity
I am thankful for McLaren and his book A New Kind of Christianity. While I completely disagree with his conclusions and even some of his reasoning, I am thankful for his critic and struggle to manifest the Christ follower life in a holistic expression. I wish we had more authors that were as hon...est and open with their faith journey. The problem is that we a so quick to label and discredit so we don’t have to deal with the issues that are raised. I am better for reading this book not because it changed my theology but because it forced me to deal with short comings in my practice. Which I guess is actually changing my theology.
