Two Kinds of Atheists, One of them Christian - Jesus Creed

Two Kinds of Atheists, One of them Christian
- Jesus Creed
- The Christian Atheist: Believing in God but Living As If He Doesn't Exist . In essence, if we say we believe in God, and say things like we believe God can change us, then we need to make that more visible. What evidence is there about us that makes it clear we believe in God?

What are the marks of a "Christian atheist"? Where is it hardest to make belief in God manifest or operative in our lives? What can we do about this?

He probes this from the angle of topics that are profoundly Christian but which are not present enough in our lives: knowing God personally, ashamed of your past and unwilling to let God heal you, afraid to let God love you, not praying, don't think God's fair, unwilling to forgive others, don't believe you can change, worry all the time, pursue happiness at any cost, trust more in money than God, don't share your faith and don't believe in God's Church.
