"If Christians cannot communicate as thinking beings, they are reduced to encountering one another only at the shallow level of gossip and small talk. Hence the perhaps peculiarly modern problem - the loneliness of the thinking Christian." - Harry Blamires, The Christian Mind
KP got it. Tony got it. Vincent got it. Even I got it.
Vincent says: "However, this is both biblically false and strategically unwise."
KP, that is exactly what I heard you saying with precision.
What does this use of unbiblical "faith" imply to an atheist about biblical faith? That was one of your points I caught KP.
I can see that this is not to be treated lightly nor "poo-poo'ed" as if there is really nothing wrong with the use of the term. Yes, there's something critically wrong with it, as you and now Vincent have pointed out.
Thank you for speaking up about this and for passing on the link to Vincent Cheung's blog. He, too, is a fine-tuned thinker.
