The Christian atheist

The earliest followers of Jesus were called 'atheists' because they did not follow the prevailing gods of their day and dared to stand again men who thought they were divine. They were picked on because of this. Some were mocked. Others had their livelihood threatened. Others lost life, liberty or happiness.

How things have not changed.

This blog is dedicated to issues of belief and tolerance in a day when followers of Jesus are again in the sights.

A Temple to atheism?

Hmm ... a prominent UK atheist wants to build a temple to atheism and says he has the design and some financial backers lined up: http://www.smh.com.au/world/dawkins-spurns-the-tenets-of-de-bottons-temple-for-atheists-20120127-1qlk3.html

But what do you do in such a temple? Look in the mirror and sing 'how great thou art'?

Will be a venue from which charity is extended to the needy; andsacrificial giving of time, talents and treasure occur?

Or will it be another tower of Babel shaking a fist at God and waiting to be overthrown or atrophy?
