The recent furor over the excerpt of Josh Butler’s book, Beautiful Union.... ...this new series at Hacking Christianity asks “What if” in novel approaches to persistent questions about church growth and vitality. We may recoil at first but mind find ourselves drawing nearer to the idea. Take a read on this idea from a guest author and ask yourself…well, what IF? Which God Exists? Guest Writer – Douglas Beaumont In discussions over the existence of God, many atheists seem to assume that anything that can be labeled “god” counts toward what informed Christians mean by the term. I’ve seen more than one atheist in a debate say that with the thousands of gods on offer from the world’s religions...
