		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I am a theologian and a Bible scholar, but I don’t want to spend this blog explaining the arguments on both sides, I’m just pointing out that millions of Christians would consider someone telling you that you must obey the Ten Commandments to be un-Christian. <a href="http://www.chrisspagani.com/336/the-ten-commandments-truth/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I used to be very religious; I got a Bible education and even became a minister. I have  even taught college-level theology classes. But there were a couple of things that always troubled me in the back of my mind, such as the fact that so many 'believers' want to sit in judgment of others in contradiction to the scripture, and even violently attack those who do not believe exactly the same things they do. And then there's the related fact that those who claim to believe the Bible, don't. <a href="http://www.chrisspagani.com/323/religion-the-fundamentalists-dont-really-believe/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Pat Robertson-John Hagee-Jerry-Fallwell-James Dobson cabal preach and believe in human sacrifice. Their religion uses Christian words to lure-in the gullible, but they preach human sacrifice: There are homosexuals in the world and because we haven't risen up collectively to slay them, God will kill 250,000 innocent people in Indonesia. <a href="http://www.chrisspagani.com/186/the-coming-human-sacrifice-cult/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

I'm talking about those who have always considered themselves to be people of faith but who never think of themselves as worthy to speak out in defense of that faith.

		<description><![CDATA[This article is about the process of dying from a purely scientific perspective. It is not about Heaven and Hell -those are theological topics.  I am talking about what we know about death, not what we wish. It might not be the whole story but it is all the story I can verify from personal experience and objective analysis. <a href="http://www.chrisspagani.com/328/death-and-dying-truth-all-of-it/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The idea that the Bible is literally true and that, in effect, God wrote it - is a rather odd concept that only got invented in the last couple of hundred years. Before that, most people - at least most educated people - understood that the Bible was a collection of stories people wrote about their own searches for God and meaning. <a href="http://www.chrisspagani.com/326/meaning-and-meaningless-ness-ii/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today we have cynical power-seekers like Pat Robertson, Rick Warren, Jerry Falwell, John Hagee, Tim LaHaye and James Dobson using the Angry Dad-God model for their own purposes. And I have warned you that this can and will degenerate into a killing and or a human sacrifice cult unless true Christians rise up as one to stop these people. This warning must be taken with the utmost seriousness or we are all doomed. <a href="http://www.chrisspagani.com/322/god-angry-dad-or-drug-of-the-masses/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
