Thread Name: BS: Thoughts on 'Substitutionary Atonement'
Subject: RE: BS: Thoughts on 'Substitutionary Atonement'
I was raised with a lot of fundy relatives. I avoided family reunions because it seemed like being in church for even more hours. I have a lot of respect for my relatives that put their money where their mouth is, so to speak. But it does not answer my questions. That's why I'm more in touch with Unitarian/universalism. I know people can pick bones with any spiritual thought, but it works for me. I think that's why I gravitated to some of the 60's protest songs that expressed doubts about the Christian view of the world. I always liked Dylan's line, "If God's on our side/He'll stop the next war."
