At Sanctuary, staff members are required to have a monthly spiritual retreat day. We call it the DAWG day (Day Alone With God). I did mine today.

Funny enough, I spent about two hours at Barnes and Noble reading, “God is not Great.”

Atheist Christopher Hitchens makes a case for God not being so Great (or even existing at all).

It attempted to dismantle the world’s major religions through highlighting the inconsistencies in their major texts and the representation of their people. Logic, apparently, is the only fabric that should weave our understanding of the world.

I actually enjoyed the read, though I whole-heartedly, and partial-mindedly disagreed with Hitchens.

Note to self: Never try to convert an atheist… just love people…let God (or your belief in the God that you’ve made up) do the rest…

One of my favorite former atheists is doing a great series on violence in the old testament over on his blog.
