			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/finlap/213926774/" title="Quill by sure2talk, on Flickr"><img align="right" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/92/213926774_d48ea850e8.jpg" width="260" alt="Quill"></a>Hello, all. Just a note to point out that I&#8217;ve changed commenting from the generic system provided by WordPress, to <a href="http://intensedebate.com/">IntenseDebate</a>. The advantage of this is that it allows comments to be posted using the credentials of a <a href="http://www.twitter.com/">Twitter</a> or <a href="http://openid.net/">OpenID</a> account, or as a &#8220;guest&#8221; (using only an email address), obviating the need to create an account directly on the blog and then using it.
<p>Many folks have Twitter accounts and/or OpenID-compliant accounts &#8212; even if they may not realize it (Google, Yahoo, AOL &amp; WordPress.Com, just to name a few; <a href="http://openid.net/get-an-openid/">here&#8217;s how to log in</a> using those). It also provides commenters with added features, such as subscribing to any replies made to your comments or to all comments on the blog post, and voting on comments. This should make commenting on this blog easier, both to post and to manage, although I can&#8217;t rule out the possibility of snags somewhere along the line. <a href="http://www.agnostic-library.com/ma/contact-me/">Please contact me</a> if you have any problems with commenting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.agnostic-library.com/ma/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Public-Notice.jpg"><img src="http://www.agnostic-library.com/ma/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Public-Notice.jpg" alt="Public Notice!" title="Public Notice!" align="right" width="240" height="148" class="size-full wp-image-3471" /></a>In the last two weeks I have received emails from two correspondents, concerning apparent problems with this site. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s not clear to me, in either case, which post or page is the problem. Administrative site searches hasn&#8217;t helped me figure out what is the problem, in either case.
<p>Now, an easy explanation for these mysterious emails is that they&#8217;re not genuine concerns about the site, but merely pretenses by which spammers are checking my email address; if I respond, they&#8217;ll know it&#8217;s valid, and then they&#8217;ll hammer me with spam. So I can&#8217;t very well just reply to my correspondents and ask what they&#8217;re talking about. This leaves me without the details I need in order to be of service to my correspondents.
<p>The only thing I can do, Gentle Reader, is ask that, if you want me to address something on this site, to please send me the URL of the page or post in question, or at least some specific information I can use to locate what you&#8217;re talking about. Otherwise I can&#8217;t help you.
<p>Thanks for your time.</p>

I&#8217;d been a frequent contributor there for some time, back then, and remain one even all these years later. My goal had been to illustrate a few things about Christian theology which are difficult, if not impossible, to convey directly.
<p><a href="http://www.agnostic-library.com/ma/divine-psychotherapy/">This essay</a> has been posted <a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/AntiBible/messages?msg=662.1">there</a> ever since, but right about then was the zenith of <a href="http://www.delphiforums.com/">Delphi Forums&#8217;</a> popularity. People tend to venture to other Internet venues now. So I thought it was time to extract this essay from the forum archives and post it here for a larger audience to read.
<p>At any rate, I hope you will read and enjoy the essay, which I call <a href="http://www.agnostic-library.com/ma/divine-psychotherapy/">&#8220;Divine Psychotherapy&#8221;</a> &#8230; even though it might seem long and rambling. Thank you.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In response to events <a href="http://politics.theatlantic.com/2010/02/so_this_was_cpac_2010.php">at CPAC</a>, the conference of conservatives that ended a few days ago, I&#8217;ve written, in response, <a href="http://www.agnostic-library.com/ma/a-non-believers-manifesto/">&#8220;My Non-Believer&#8217;s Manifesto.&#8221;</a> I invite one and all &#8212; religious, non-religious, and in-between &#8212; to read it.
<p>I admit it is a challenging statement, and this is by design, for reasons <a href="http://www.agnostic-library.com/ma/a-non-believers-manifesto/">I explain there</a>. Some of you might even consider it incendiary or extreme.
<p>But whatever you think of it, clearly American non-believers no longer have any choice to but to start asking hard questions of religionists, who believe they are entitled to run the country and even to dictate what everyone within in it says and thinks. There doesn&#8217;t seem to be any more room for debate or negotiation, because religionists in the U.S. will never engage in either &#8230; not genuinely, anyway.
<p>In any event, my thanks to one and all for having a look at it.</p>
