theist vs. atheist discussions. Jeff is no slouch when it comes to serenely describing the indisputable merits of a Christian world view, having traveled much of the 'atheist/theist' spectrum in his own life and (somewhat abnormally, if my understanding of statistics is accurate) landing on the 'theist' side of the aisle. As a result, we're graced with his somewhat unique perspective which, when combined with his superior communication and community-building skills, leads to a truly refreshing fountain of wisdom from which we would be wise to draw nouriishment.
And I say all of that as someone who took the other path (started theist and ended up what most theists would consider an atheist, though I still think there's an immutable place for God in human affairs due, if nothing else, to the peculiar human psyche and our inherent biological/neurological limitations).
Still, religion is one of those topics generally considered taboo so it would be best to let Jeff take the lead on such a discussion. Tolerant and engaging as this community is, even SSI's readership has its limits.
