I have blogged on the subject of <a href="http://stroppyrabbit.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/what-is-christian.html" rel="nofollow">defining Christianity</a>, and think you might like it.Yewtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028699564003381058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144051388547159240.post-92048519270338472422012-09-27T12:07:06.001+01:002012-09-27T12:07:06.001+01:00I was surprised at the response to Tom Holland'...I was surprised at the response to Tom Holland's film, but less so at the response to the American film.<br /><br />We mustn't lose sight of the many moderate Muslims who do not advocate violence. And i think it's always worth reminding ourselves that fundamentalists exist in every religious tradition: Christians who hate "The Life of Brian" and the artwork displayed on the Jesus in Love website; Pagans who want all archaeological remains reburied; Wiccans who dislike the historical conclusions drawn by Ronald Hutton; Muslims who dislike Salman Rushdie. We must all remove the plank from our own eye before removing the speck of dust from our brother's eye. You have done this very deftly.<br /><br />Also, on a side note: I love Timothy Sprigge :)Yewtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028699564003381058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144051388547159240.post-70190413255040249732012-09-26T18:05:54.824+01:002012-09-26T18:05:54.824+01:00Good to see you tackling this Andrew and doing it ...Good to see you tackling this Andrew and doing it so well.<br /><br />JustinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
