Bingo, kat! Read it awhile back. Good stuff! In fact, my church had a really good discussion of it in our adult forum. We also discussed the writings of Karen Armstrong, A History of God, The Battle for God, others. She's an ex-nun. Been there, Done that. Has a whole drawer full of T-shirts. Knows what she's talking about. More good stuff. Of course, the church I belong to (Central Lutheran Church in Seattle) is pretty weird. I don't think Pat would approve. . . .

Remember Spong's speculations about the nature of the "thorn" in Paul's side and the possibility that it might have a lot to do with some of the things he was especially against? I wonder if that might not be Pat Robertson's problem too.
