Moreover, I saw something that really brought a smile to my face this morning -- a refridgerator magnet:
Jesus Is Cool but Some of His followers Give me the Creeps

====================================
I guess this is as good a way to start belief/faith blogging as any. Hi. I'm Mark Hutchinson. I'm a neighbor of Paul and Gina. I'm 51 years old and a North Carolina native. You'll learn more about me as I post. In the coming months, I hope to post many entries -- some serious and some, like this one, more humorous. I accept the probability that I will offend some readers in my posts, but that will never be my primary intention.
My posting goals:
- to create prose that makes you think about your own beliefs and faith as much as I do when I create my blog entries
- to distinguish fact from opinion
- to source and cite my references
- to create some permanent resource for my god son, Hamilton, when he is ready to understand faith and belief.
Happy New Year,
Mark

Mark,
I am quite excited to see you post and thank you for your enthusiasm. I have great faith in you motives; however, remember one of the rules is to state what you believe as opposed to what you don't believe which is a very difficult task especially when attacking the chore of distinguishing between fact verse opinion. Secondly, in distinguishing fact verse opinion make sure you remember to entertain the idea that because something is an opinion it is not necessarily invalid or lack potential to be factual.
Having said that I do think it is possible and important and crucial at some levels for contributors to expose in their beliefs what they believe to be fact versus opinion.
Lastly, at times people are actually opining when presenting thoughts or ideas as fact as opposed to opinions.
