Thought provoking Emails that
we have received ... with our responses

Sponsored link.

Overview:

Most of the Emails from our web site's visitors fall into one of four categories -- those containing:

	General praise for our web site. We enjoy reading these.
	General condemnation of our entire web site. Some of these are quite amusing.
	A description of an apparent error in one of our essays.
	Interesting theological, ethical, spiritual, and scientific questions.

We have published a few representative samples of Emails containing praise and condemnation elsewhere on this site. Some of these are quite positive and encouraging; others are quite abusive, nasty, and vicious. Occasionally, we receive death threats. We investigate any reported errors and correct our essays as needed. 

This essay lists some of the interesting theological/religious/moral/spiritual questions raised by our site visitors. We have disguised the identity of the individuals who originated the Email. We have re-written their questions for reasons of brevity or clarity, and to hid the identity of the sender. 

Topics discussed in this section:

	Part 1: Mine is the only true Christian denomination Who is a Christian? Group prayer with an Atheist. What religion should I choose? Is Christ the Lord, or a liar or lunatic? I am being harassed; what do I do? The cause of religiously motivated conflicts and genocides.
	Part 2: Should this site ban ads related to Wicca and the casting of spells? Why do people reject absolute truth? Is it OK for a newspaper to show a picture of two lesbians? Was Irenaeus correct? Will God refuse to forgive a sin committed after one is saved? Is the one third of the world's population that will be destroyed during Armageddon from Africa? Satanic Ritual Abuse happens a lot.
	Part 3: Female Genital Mutilation. Who is a Christian? Scientists' beliefs about evolution. Wiccans and other Neopagans describing themselves as "Pagans." Causes of Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). Evolution is false. What is a Christian, revisited. Tolerance and truth are incompatible. The 9-11 terrorist attack.
	Part 4: Abortion in America is the greatest genocide. What religion should I follow? God and the Bible are intolerant Are you guys a bunch of wacos? Can therapy change gays? You have to stand for something or fall for everything. You know that God exists. God says that abortion is murder, because life begins at conception.
	Part 5: How can you advertise spell kits on your web site? Does religion cause conflict or bring people together? The use of BCE and CE is spineless and repulsive. What happens during an abortion? People of different religions cannot live peacefully together. Your site is a fraud; you lie about creation science. Religious tolerance is evil.

	Part 6: Posting a notice of a church's Easter drama in a public school. Should we tolerate falsehood? Why doesn't this web site take a stand on abortion? How can a Christian discount anything in the Bible?
	Part 7: Adam & Eve and homosexuality. "Because of your essay on Jesus and sin, you must be from Satan!" How do I find the one true religion? Did Jesus die on the cross? A general attack. Change the name of our web site.
	Part 8: Is a fetus human? Compulsory parenthood. Another Email critical of the CE and BCE notation. Refusing to compromise beliefs.
	Part 9: The Bible is errant. Overcoming fear-based childhood religious training.

We will be adding to this list as additional Emails arrive.
