I welcome passionate discussion and debate in the comments sections of Geotheology. But, if you have a beef with a viewpoint expressed on this site, I ask that you stay focused on the issues at hand: no personal invective, no demonizing or pseudo-psychoanalyzing of those with whom you disagree, etc. This is a site for geo- theological, geo- political discussion and hence mutual learning- it is not a barroom or a playground.
Though Native American and Christian seems like a contradiction because of the tragic course American history has taken Concerning Indigenous people- it cannot be denied that there is a long and complex tradition and relationship among America's Indigenous people and Christianity. Many tribes and Native people have cultivated and enriched this relationship going right back to the beginning of "America". This relationship, in its pure and uncorrupted form, demonstrates that one does not have to stop being an Indian to be a Christian or that one cannot be a Christian if they cling to an Indian knowledge of spiritual reality. True Christianity, undefiled by ideology and political opportunism is compatible and reconcilable with Native worldview, thought and philosophy.

I saw that one. It was a confrontation with Ted Haggard. He managed to make Haggard look as mad as a hatter. Boy is this dangerous territory....I don't wanna aleinate anyoneby saying this , but perhaps doing that to Haggard was not such a stretch. Ted seemed to be holding his own and then he just lost it. I am no atheist, but Dawkins came out looking much more rational on that confrontation. By all accounts though, dawkins goes on to become very strident himself and ends up being the same kind of fundamentalist he is going after. The review linked here is at a place where many share the view of Dawkins, that religious folks are irrational...and even a lot of those people agree that Dawkins was out of line in other confrontations with the faithful.
