[a sneak peek]

Skepticism and Christianity

1) Disclaimer

2) Why do people need religion?

3) Personal history and the stimulus of the Sabah retreat

4) First principles - Is there a God? Brief meta-physical discussion, since I've no training in philosophy/meta-physics.

5) Rebutting the untenable claims and ludicrous beliefs of literalists.

6) Circular arguments and inescapable flowcharts in finding God etc

7) Some fundamental precepts of Christianity - eg sin, sex as a sin. This is not a book, merely an essay so a short discussion will suffice.

8) Questioning applied religion - assumptions and interpretation.

9) Goings-on of the retreat, personal reflections


"If cows and horses or lions had hands,/... Horses would have drawn horse-like gods, cows cow-like gods,/ and each species would have made the gods' bodies just like their own" - Xenophanes


I wonder if I'll manage to complete this essay. I'll try to exercise essay discipline this time to stop it from becoming a vaguely linked collection of ranting paragraphs :) And to keep to my self-imposed 1-2 week deadline! Hopefully I'll have it done by Sunday.


My computer (or at least the area around the monitor) has been infected by ants for the longest time. Gah!
