Joel’s Scattered Thoughts

This is followup on my previous post The Church and I. More specifically I wanted to do some thinking about the links Karen pointed to.

I had read the Real Live Preacher’s story either when he first wrote it or shortly after. There are some definite parallels with my story. Right now I’m thinking of moving from part 3 to part 4 and I’m having a hard time with the transition. Do I dare make the shift from (relatively) comfortable inaction due to doubt, to trying to live a godly life with the costs that entails even with doubts?

Reading the Internet Monk’s account of his doubts makes me wonder if I should be rereading the Gospels to see if I can see Jesus as a person. Sad to say, there are a lot of fictional characters that inspire me more than the stories of Christ. Is there something I’m missing?

Simon Cozen’s Why I am still a Christian was interesting. I liked his black box analogy of the universe and his brief apologetics.
