Spotlight on Church of the Churchless

I first started paying attention to blogs back in 2004 and one of the very first ones I subscribed to was Church of the Churchless by Blogger Brian. I have been subscribed to his feed ever since (except for a brief period when we moved from Oregon to Washington). While I've made several virtual friends with bloggers over the years, Brian is the ONLY one I've met in person as, for a time, we both lived in Salem, Oregon. May I say he and his wife are good people!

So, what is Brian's blog about? Let him tell you:

If you are spiritual but not religious,
If you don't belong to an organized faith but sometimes wish you did,
Or if you do belong but sometimes wish you didn't,
Welcome to the Church of the Churchless.

If you are tired of dogma that divides rather than unites,
That demands blind faith rather than open-eyed investigation,
That proclaims "You'll see when you believe"
Instead of "You'll believe when you see,"
Welcome to the Church of the Churchless.

Almost without exception, every one of his posts is thought provoking. He's an avid reader and he often references one of the many books he's reading. His blog is about science, philosophy, atheism, belief, skepticism and so much more. His comments sections often provide one of the most lively you will find in this neck of the woods.

To offer a taste of the Churchless mindset, here are some links to recent posts:

• Divinity isn't necessary to make life meaningful
• How to tell science from pseudoscience
• Crazy or religious? Tough to tell the difference.
• Draw Mohammed Day freaks out fundamentalist Muslims

As long as Brian writes, I'll read...and ponder.
