That might stop you in your tracks even if you're not a practicing Christian.
Dangerous faith? Really? During Christmas week?
My initial thought on seeing the headline was, "Is that really necessary?"
The article goes on to make the usual rather pedantic points about fanaticism and religious intolerance.
Which are, of course, legitimate concerns. But what causes pause, I think, is the driving force underneath the article. That things of God, in many circles, are still ridiculed and sneered at, and faith in a Creator is evidence of an "inferior mind", as some scientific thinkers would have us believe.
At this time of the year especially, maybe we should stop to consider what the man who gave rise to Christianity actually had to say. And maybe by reflecting on His example and teachings, we might just uncover the validity of his story.
