It’s been a busy few days. I have a few blog posts backed up, which I shall now be able to get to. The last few days have been taken up with life stuff, and also with thinking about the post by Richard Carrier that I responded to earlier.
Reading polemic is a tedious business, and responding to it more so. I’m going to have to get back into the habit of declining to be involved. None of us must spend much time on it, or it will rot our souls. Nobody wants to hear why other people are wrong anyway. We want to hear about enthusiasms, not hatreds.
A friend to whom I mentioned this reminded me that, as Christians, we are called to love those who hate us. That does apply to atheists too, tempting as it is to respond in kind.
Once I clear the backlog, I shall return to Eutychius.
