“In Memoriam”

I trust that my friend Bill Hamblin won’t mind my posting a link to his funeral tribute to his mother, posted nearly two weeks ago:

I thought that it eloquently expressed not only his admiration and affection for his mother, but, more generally, why so many of us think the claims of the Gospel so very important.

I understand quite well how some come to think that walking away from theism is liberating.  I find it far more difficult to see, though, how they can regard the message of atheism, on balance, as good news.
