Thread Name: BS: Thoughts on 'Substitutionary Atonement'
Subject: RE: BS: Thoughts on 'Substitutionary Atonement'
You reassure me LH, thank you! It may be my Irish and Scottish parents and my ancestry, but I feel far closer to the natural world in a vaguely Celtic sort of way than I do to the structured and inflexible Christian Church. I have no problem with God as Creator and Guardian of the Universe, and Jesus sounds like a very nice chap. I feel a kinship with all living things (not just humans) but find these man-made doctrines a bit tricky. Dear oh dear, I must be turning into a New Age hippy or an Animist in my old age! Better go and hug a tree or something.
