Thanks Colin, I had an interesting discussion on a podcast with Anders Bolling about this a week or so ago. So many are rejecting Christianity and perhaps other faiths as well because they see and dislike the human constructs around it. I share that dislike of much of it. It is inevitable that whatever we do as humans gets tainted by greed, power lust, unhealthy desires and ambitions--sin, in other words. I see that in that reasonable rejection too many are throwing the baby out with the bath water. Now, the question comes, what is the baby and what is the bathwater? I guess everyone needs to figure that out for themselves and maybe it is easier for some just to throw the whole thing out. But, much is lost in that process, unnecessarily. Not just the comfort, meaning and purpose that comes with throwing all faith away, but truth as well. That's why I urge caution in that rejection.
