What is happening in the religious world?

147. Books don't matter.

You should be confronting individuals directly. Like here on DU where you attempt to preach. Do the same thing, but on fundie/creationist boards. They aren't going to pick up your book or read your column, let's get real. Yes, you might get banned. But keep trying - isn't that what Jesus would want you to do?

BTW, most of the substance of your posts seems to complain about not getting the respect you think your viewpoint deserves. I'm telling you where you can preach actually to accomplish what you keep telling us is happening - a "new Christianity" (kindler, gentler, etc.) It's been pointed out to you now more times than I can count that your sweeter, fresher-smelling version is STILL a tiny, insignificant minority. You want to change Christianity? Engage CHRISTIANS, especially the ones who disagree with you (HINT: you won't find many of them on DU), and quit bragging to atheists and complaining that they don't appreciate you.
