MY RELIGION IS CHRISTIAN OR I DON'T HAVE ONE | 2004-10-21

It bothers some of my non-religious readers that I call myself a Christian.

In actual fact, I have very little faith. Most people don't. If that were not the case, Jesus would not have talked about faith the size of a mustard seed.

But if you ask me my religious faith, such as it is, it is Christian. If it is not wholly Christian, it is nothing.

My religious conviction is summed up by the great Christian writer, C.S. Lewis:

"Either Jesus is God, or He was a madman."
