		<description><![CDATA[I don’t know Mark Driscoll. Nor, for that matter, do those who make up the disturbingly enthusiastic crowd of stone-bearers who wait in the wings, apparently hoping for his downfall. They’re calling him a thug, alleging that he suffers from mental illness, calling him a slime ball, a heretic, an “ass,” a “jerk,” and worse. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just had the misfortune to stumble across www.jesus-is.savior.com With a web address like that, how could I object, right? Think again. THIS is the first page on that site I visited. To spare you the mental scarring of actually visiting the site, here&#8217;s a hint of what that page is about: Gee guys &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A thread over at Theologyweb has had me thinking lately. I&#8217;ve added some of my own comments, and I thought I&#8217;d sum up some thoughts here. From time to time, Roman Catholic apologists like to argue that since there are so many Protestant denominations, there must be something inherently wrong with Protestantism. In particular, so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a previous blog entry here, I reproduced a vent from me, expressing frustrations that I was repeatedly having in discussions with people of an Eastern Orthodox church background. I had meant to add something, which I&#8217;ve just now found. So here goes. See if you can figure out what, in this discussion could lead [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently made these comments over at Theologyweb (which is worth checking out if you haven&#8217;t already &#8211; see my links page). I thought some people might find them worthwhile here. I’m a Protestant. That means many things.
