60. I prefer Marcus Borg
Spong's belief system wanders too far afield of Christianity for me. He almost takes too much away for me to even consider him a Christian. I mean to be considered a Christian, don't you sort of have to believe in Jesus the Christ?

He does some mighty fine insights on Christianity, however, like his comment about Pat Robertson revealing more about himself than about God when he said God wouldn't care if Dover had a disaster. Robertson was revealing what Robertson would be like if HE was God. That's a mighty fine insight, I must say.

Fundamentalist make my teeth itch, but so do those who wander too far afield in the other direction.
