I received a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher.] @StickyJesus begins with an important thought: The printing press contributed to “the Reformation and… the spread of Christianity”.

		<description><![CDATA[This week, I witnessed an online argument that really bothered me. During a long and obviously hurtful theological tussle between two men, one of them (Tom*) made it clear that in his opinion, no person can claim to be a Christian while supporting equal rights for gays.  He seemed to know his theology well.  He &#8230; <span class="more-link"><a href="http://crystalstmarielewis.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/straightianity/">Continue reading &#187;</a></span><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crystalstmarielewis.wordpress.com&amp;blog=26396873&amp;post=975&amp;subd=crystalstmarielewis&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been very open in the world of social media about my agnostic view of the afterlife. As I&#8217;ve said in other posts, I don&#8217;t know what happens after we die&#8211; and I&#8217;m okay with that.
