When “Left Behind” takes on new meaning

Last updated on: July 7, 2009 at 8:32 pm By Christian Piatt

The phrase “left behind” brings to mind for most people the apocalyptic religious fiction series, apparently scaring people into adhering to Christian doctrine “or else.” But for me, it raises strong feelings about what sucks the most about being a part of organized religion. Read more

Last updated on: June 18, 2009 at 2:59 pm By Christian Piatt

I posted my latest podcast episode titled "Bridging the Gap," which is adapted from a message Amy offered recently. The idea centers around where people of faith are called, which is not to take sides, but rather to act as a bridge to bring sides together. Read more

Can you be both an atheist and a Christian?

Last updated on: June 4, 2009 at 5:43 pm By Christian Piatt

I probably sped at least as much time discussing theology with people who claim atheism or agnosticism as I do with other Christians. I tend to prefer it this way. After one of these kinds of chats recently, I started wondering if someone actually could be a Christian, while also not believing in a divine being. It began as a fairly abstract intellectual exercise, but the answer I came up with actually surprised me. Read more

Lent: Celebrating to Common (from the April PULP issue)

Last updated on: May 1, 2009 at 10:30 pm By Christian Piatt

I actually had a college student friend of mine say recently that Lent is her favorite time of the Christian year. Whereas days like Christmas and Easter have largely become as commercialized as Valentines or other Hallmark Holidays, Lent actually requires something of us, and causes us to search inward to discern what’s really important in our lives.
