Michael Spencer October 12th, 2009

Neal, a Christian twenty-something struggling with his faith, says “I know I’m worthless and all that, and that Jesus died for me anyway.”

Skip the rest of the conversation. Go back to that word “worthless.” “I know I’m worthless…”

(Right now, there’s a comment thread with well over 250 comments going over a piece I wrote about evangelical young people “de-converting” to atheism.)

These conversations do have a certain “re-runnish” quality to them. Same questions. Same arguments. Sam … (Read More)

Faith & football — to the max

Terry Mattingly August 12th, 2009

Regular readers of GetReligion.org may have noticed that some of your GetReligionistas are big sports fans, which includes the National Football League in several cases. This continues to be the case even though young master Daniel Pulliam is inactive, while serving as editor of a law review.
