My Blog Has Moved
Dear Readers,
After a year with Beliefnet, I've decided to move to my own domain for my blogging. It's been a fine year -- some things worked, other things didn't. But in the end, I'll be a better blogger on my own. My thanks to the Bnet editorial staff; they've been very supportive.

Ending Christian Euphemisms: "Fundamentalist"
I've taken some heat in the comment section for using yesterday's post on "unbiblical" and a "higher view of scripture" as a thin foil for my own disregard of biblical standards.

Tony, I am happy to hear this conversation being discussed. I think it needs to be. I blogged some thoughts on this a few months ago as well. http://www.thesnuffy.com/2008/08/06/gay-marriage/ And look forward to hearing yours.
