Fish evolved into tetrapods, and tetrapods into humans: So says Darwinian evolution. The alleged transition of life from fish to tetrapod-a walking animal-was the subject of one of the BBC's "science" broadcasts known as "In Our Time", first broadcast on 20th October 2022.
In one of a few posts which pondered the question, "Does God Have a Dark Side?", I made the mistake of leaving the most important observation until last. So right up front today, here's another take on it.
Atheists and agnostics mock Christians for worshiping a God who can’t be seen. He isn’t peeping out from behind the clouds, He isn’t sitting on the church roof, He’s never been to university (so far as we can tell) He's never been on TV, He doesn’t jump when he’s told to, and He doesn’t stop people stealing from little old ladies (click the title to read on).
Isn't it sexist to be discussing manhood and a binary division imposed by a past oppressive society? Isn't it small-minded and exclusionary? After all, gender distinctions are being erased, right?

According to some Christians you can't be an effective, powerful witness unless you as a believer go on to get baptized in the Spirit after your conversion and speak in tongues. If you don't speak in tongues, you're only half baked, they think, and you have little power to witness to the world. I intend to show here that this is faulty theology, and it's a theology which creates an ungodly, unnecessary and prideful class structure within the Church.
