The Start

Not having blogged before, but been a man of many, if varied (ok, random unconnected) thoughts, it's probably time for me to jump into the fire.

I don't expect to post every day, and the subjects may be many and varied, but hopefully thought provoking.

I have in the past been called a fundamentalist christian, a term which has many understandings and reactions. It's most definitely not in the American camp, heaven forbid, but simply that I fundamentally believe the Bible to be God's word - full and complete - to man.

I was once in a discussion group looking at the other 'isms', and to the question "Why Christianity?", I have the basic reply, "because only it makes sense of this world - and is completely logical."

Now I guess Jesus or the apostles didn't want those who hear God's Word to use logic to come to faith, but having a science (ok, technology) oriented background, if I am to believe in something, it has to make sense, and that for my meagre brain, means being logical, the loose ends have to tie up.

I do have a christian background, my grandfather was a Methodist minister, and have hopped over to the CofE, not because of some tennet of belief or dogma, but because of the simple practicality of having an ex-uni friend from the CU being at the local parish church where I moved to after leaving Uni for my first job. Told you I use logic :)
