		<title>The God Collision: Christopher Hitchens is Not an Atheist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Ever since professional provocateur Christopher Hitchens published God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything he has become the patron saint of 21st century atheism. But is Hitchens really an atheist? Here at LivingHour.org we&#8217;ve always suspected no; that Hitchen&#8217;s diatribes were directed toward simply the literal sects of religion and those who anthropomorphize God [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Three Laughing Monks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ In China, there is the legend of the three laughing monks. They are also today sometimes referred to as the three laughing saints (but of course in a very SBNR way). The monks only ever did one thing: on entering a new village, they would stand in the market place and start laughing. They [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Laughter of Christ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Dalai Lama of Tibet is said to have an extraordinary laugh, one that rises frequently and joyfully from deep within his body. This is something we don&#8217;t attribute to Jesus much: laughter. We get so caught up with Jesus&#8217;s end game and the &#8220;man of sorrows&#8221; image that we lose sight of how much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tom Robbins on Religion, God, &amp; The Spiritual Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Tom Robbins is the kind of author who people often say you either love or hate. All things considered, that is probably the best kind of author to be, as it reflects that level of truth telling which always inspires radically opposing emotions in others. Robbins is also the kind of author that we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jesus the Satirist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  In our SBNR Motivational The Laughter of Christ, we talked about how Jesus must have had a great sense of humor. Finding examples of the Nazarene&#8217;s humor isn&#8217;t easy though when reading the Gospels. Some folks have pointed towards Jesus&#8217;s admonition that we shouldn&#8217;t worry about the speck in our brother&#8217;s eye when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Praising Contradictions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ There is one thing that many scientists and orthodox Christians share: that is, a dislike of contradictions. That an electron can appear as either a particle or a wave is as disturbing to the scientist, as the mystical phrase You are God and not God is to the evangelical Baptist. Literal Bible readers take [...]]]></description>

		<title>And The Moon Rose Over An Open Field&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ And the moon rose over an open field&#8230; So it goes in Simon &#038; Garfunkel&#8217;s classic song &#8220;America&#8221;. These 8 simple words are perhaps the most eloquent turn of phrase in all popular music&#8211;and a lyric that should serve as a strong metaphor for Progressive Christians and all those who seek the pathway to [...]]]></description>
