Crisis of Faith

It just hit me that here I am, within 5 or 10 years of the end of life and I have yet to experience a good old crisis of faith. Oh, my religious/spiritual notions have changed over the years. I now laugh at some of the things I thought I believed or thought I should believe. But there was no drama. No big crisis. I made just one denominational change and that was no big, family busting thing. Not like I quit Christianity and became a Hindu or something. I wonder if I should put a crisis of faith on my to-do list. Maybe that would put some sparkle and pizzaz in my otherwise dull life.

Crazy For God

Just finished reading Frank Schaeffer's book. Fascinating. It would be interesting to get a local discussion group going. I'm not sure I want to get into an online group. There's something about the anonymity of the internet that makes people write things they would never dare say in person. I suppose those who believe all conservative Christians are dangerous nutcases love the book, while Schaffer's former evangelical associates believe the devil has got hold of him. I accept neither of those positions.
