God is Imaginary?

In the past few weeks I have been captivated by this website:
http://www.godisimaginary.com/

In what I can’t say is the most rational or reasonable attempt to “disprove” God’s existence, this website includes an off sprint Atheist of Sam Harris making, what he feels, are authentic positions to show how imaginary God is. At first I took the stance that the website was nothing more than an attention hungry Atheist struggling with a personal question of God’s existence. After extensive study of the author and the website, it can clearly be seen that this young Atheist is not only troubled, but confused by the hundreds of thousands that flock and gather at what is organized religion. There doesn’t seem to be a desire to understand God, merely crush Him.

The reality that “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” (James 1:27) is obviously something that has not been experienced or seen by this Atheist. Seeing an individual willing to devote their life to the cause of “disproving” God is a challenge to not only defend the faith and hope we have, but to realize the lack of love and consistency Christians have toward the unbeliever. The entire website has a blatant disregard for hermeneutics and rationality for that matter, but if Christians took the amount of time and dedication to the cause of expanding the Kingdom that this Atheist has to trying to “disprove” it, the possibilities for salvation could be endless.

These thoughts aren’t reinventing the wheel by any means. This website has captivated my heart and mind though, challenging me to share the lve of Christ in all aspects.. by word, moreso by deed.

purity or unity

Dear scholary comrades,

I am having so much struggle trying to find the right balance between “purity” and “unity” in church. Our modern church history definitely shows much interest on “unity” even to the extent of forsaking few critical doctrinal issues. However there were such a movement called “free church” or more recently Anabaptism in 16 century and on. Have you experienced to be a literalist in some point such as in disputing “woman leadership” in the church, or un-participatory(?) in “charismatic harmony” or even “small fellowship meeting (but you cannot bring your Bible because it’s too offensive)”? I have. And it’s quite surprising how quickly you can be isolated from the crowd. I am looking for good sources; books or journals and anything hardcopy, since I do not rely much on internet on “purity” and “unity” and “free church” and finally your opinioon, encouragement, complaint will be welcomed. Thank you, comrades.
