Here is an article on Pagan Christianity. The author points out that saying if we do our part, God will do his, is manipulating God--and therefore, pagan.

Did you know that religious women are more likely to cohabitate than religious men? Or that only 15 out of 100 cohabitating couples actually marry? Read this interesting, stat, filled article on "Missionary Cohabitating."

In this Wall Street Journal article, "Why God Did Not Create the Universe," Stephen Hawking asserts that recent advances in cosmology and astro physics show that universes can spontaneously be created out of nothing. No argument is given here, just an assertion. Has anyone explored this or seen a Christian response?

A New York Times blogger picked up Jonathan Acuff recent article, in which he said that Christians talk about lust and abstinence, but fail to extoll the great sex that can happen in a Christian relationship. The NY Times blog post is called, "How Christians Spoil Sex." What do you think about this subject?
