At first I was afraid this thread was just an attempt by a sore atheist to get the Christians riled up. But golly gee, of all the people riled up, none of them seem to be Christians.

Which is fairly predictable. So far the Christians I've seen here on Mudcat have been pretty secure in their faith. As somebody (Lewis? Chesterton?) said, nobody runs down the street yelling, "The sun will rise tomorrow!" except people who are afraid it won't. It's people who are insecure in their own beliefs that can't stand to hear others talking about theirs.

I'd love to hear more about what the Pagans, Jews, Muslims, etc. believe. Aside from this being interesting and helping me to understand and appreciate my own beliefs (and correct them where they err), the more you know about somebody, the harder it is to objectify them and make them "the enemy."

But what do I know? I like folk music.
