From [livejournal.com profile] dark_christian community, as usual, comes this link to a wonderful little op-ed. The comments at the end are very illuminating of some people's prejudice.

Thanks for linking to that. Well-said, and I totally agree with it.

I loved his take on what it means to be religous. Faith forces you to the hard thing sometimes, maybe even all the time. A lot of these so called Christians want it both ways. They want the level of laziness I enjoy for being agnostic(ish) and they want to be sanctified at the same time.

Exactly. Having one's cake and eating it too is a rare event in this life.

"The comments at the end" would be easier to find if you removed ?thread=327173#t327173 from the link.

if you find your religion DOESN'T challenge you, odds are good you aren't doing it right.
