Jimmy James White wrote this, good, bad, and ugly. Roman Catholicism may not be the best path for getting Beyond Fundamentalism, but it sure beats several other options. ;-)

Seriously. See this: http://philcooke.com/Battle_Cry Yes, I've posted too much today. Yes, I will stop now. Just trying to get the momentum going so this will be a cool place to hang out and chat sooner, rather than later.

"Myths do for Catholics what clever theological explanations do for Protestants. They put that 'necessary' hedge around the Cross so that it’s not too offensive."

Guess where the quote that titles this post came from?

The mission statement of an Anglican Church in London. And they seem to mean it.

 Jesus annoys me too.

A recent iMonk post has me wondering if my engaging in conversation at this blog makes me more like Jesus.

The answer is probably "No."

On the other hand, I don't think it's making me his enemy either, so I'll probably keep at it as long as it interests me. It does make me want to know him more. But that's not the same as being like him or even loving him.

Regardless, I can't help noticing that I've not yet escaped the mindset where being "right" (or, more often in the case of Fundamentalism, being "cooperative with the agenda") is more important than being like Jesus.

My absence has been due to a major work project that's finally starting to wrap up in the next few days.

In the meantime, if you haven't seen it, check out Landover Baptist Church. If you sympathize with this website, or feel that it is poking fun at you, you're probably a Fundamentalist, whether you choose the label for yourself or not.

I'll be back next week with hopefully some more in depth writing on what is and what is not Christian Fundamentalism, and the continuation of the monergism debate.
