I, too, have had similar thoughts. And I don't know what the answer is... but the discourse is refreshing and needed. I think we need to ask ourselves some questions. What are our goals? Are they selfish goals of societal acceptance? Are they grand goals of spreading a secular view to the masses? The answer to these questions (and more) will mold the direction that we should take. I've outlined my thoughts in a couple pieces that are quite old... but I suppose they may still be worth a glance. Check them out and give me your feedback/insight: http://www.allyourfaitharebelongtous.com/content.php?page=view_all.php%3Fcat%3D24 Thanks for sharing, Jacob.
