The quote from the Faith and Theology blog<\/a> will probably irritate some. But I think its point is well taken. To the extent that some wrongly claim that being in the midst of war causes people to lose their atheism as they find their lives in danger, being in the midst of war could just as easily be said to cause people to lose their Christianity as they seek to take the lives of others.<\/p>\n

If you would respond by insisting that the reality is more complex, I am inclined to agree \u2013 but I hope that you will then steer away from all simplistic slogans, and not just those that offend you<\/em>.<\/p>\n
