Dispatch From the Internet Monk

An interesting description on the real problems evangelicals face from the non-religious movement. They make believing out and out difficult:

Atheism is just….easier. Occam’s Razor. Theism is too much trouble. It starts to sound like someone is trying to sell you something sight unseen. Isn’t your best move just to hang up the phone and ignore the call?

What's really happening is that America is slowly going the same way that Europe has gone. Largely secular and not terribly noteworthy for all that - life goes on.

Interesting and frank discussion I suppose. I do especially like:

They are asking what will let them live a life uncomplicated by lies, manipulation and constant calls to prefer ignorance to what seems obvious.

What we’ve said and written is fine. What we’ve lived in our homes, private lives, churches, workplaces and friendships has spoken louder.

Back to basics I guess, actions speak louder than words. Remarkably insightful amid much squawking.
