Kurtz put this up today. It softens his point, but doesn't take away all of the sting.
Thanks to everyone who wrote in yesterday, even those who disagree with my opinions. Many of you expressed concern at the "Jesus police" coming after me but that didn't happen.
Most people misunderstood my commnet about intellectual suicide as meaning I thought all Christians are stupid, which isn't true. I may have poorly expressed my point, which was that I can't believe in something that only holds up if I ignore what I know as a man living in the 21st century.
For example, in order for me to believe that there was one man and one woman named Adam and Eve who populated the earth, I would have to ignore what I know about genetics. I can't do that.
God gave you a brain because he wants you to think. That's all I was trying to say.
