"But in all fairness, there is another side to this story, justifiably provoking the contempt of the skeptic. Much of what has passed for the Chrisitian message has been nothing more than frothy God-talk - mindless, thoughtless and in it's exploitation of people, heartless. This too, will not do. Just as so much of antitheistic thinking when scrutinized is sensically impoversished, so also much religious verbiage, seeped in emotional drivel and bereft of reason, can be tossed at unsuspecting audiences in the name of orthodoxy. The ruinous end of the latter, in it's destruction of lives plundered materially and spiritually, may be greater than the ideas perpetrated by the openly cynical. Is there an answer to all this? I sincerely trust there is. And it is to find that common ground of interaction that this material is presented."
