thoughtful ideas on life's big questions
I have several times blogged on how christians and atheists relate to each other on the internet, because I think courtesy is better than rudeness, and attitudes on both sides can be improved. So I was interested in christian author Benjamin Corey’s thoughts on this.
I don’t usually review my blog in a post, but ten years is a milestone worth marking.
