		<description><![CDATA[A recent blog post of mine was the beginning of an online exchange between myself and a friend and coworker, Marcelo.  Marcelo and I disagree on the subject of God&#8217;s existence, he being a naturalist while I&#8217;m a Christian.  But we also enjoy a good, reasonable discussion, and thought that even if we don&#8217;t end [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As an engineer, I work with a lot of smart people who are logically- and scientifically-minded.  I share this perspective, so it makes for a comfortable and enjoyable environment for me.  However, many at my workplace and in the larger scientific community hold to a naturalistic worldview akin to that espoused by its more vocal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My church group is studying &#8220;The Reason for God&#8221; by Timothy Keller.  This week&#8217;s chapter was on the perception that Christianity is a &#8220;straitjacket&#8221; that compromises our freedom.  Keller&#8217;s conclusion is excellent:
&#8220;What then is the moral-spiritual reality we must acknowledge to thrive?  What is the environment that liberates us if we confine ourselves to it, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve begun reading Timothy Keller&#8217;s book The Reason for God at the recommendation of a pastor friend of mine.  The following excerpt from the introduction describes exactly the viewpoint I&#8217;ve come to consider to be profoundly important for our society.  I honestly believe that the failure to take this approach in forming one&#8217;s beliefs is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight at the Bible study I attend, the issue of abortion came up.  Our brief discussion inspired me to expand upon some points I made in a post a year ago, which led to a valuable exchange with some friends in the comments: read it here.
I won&#8217;t reiterate that entire post, but our conversation tonight [...]]]></description>
