What? You're trying to get me shot? I'd think you'd at least want to wait until I finished up that proofreading job.
Back to Deb... I will not turn green with envy. I will not turn green with envy. I will NOT turn green with envy.

There are two tenets of cannibalism:
1. Be a man. 2. You are what you eat.
Presumably, then, if you eat Christians... Well, let's just call it evangelism from the inside out.

Owies... you mean backbiting.. devouring one another? Holy Cow! That is in the Bible. However, when we hear about Friars it has to do with Catholic clergy and not fryers.
HA... where in the world were we?
I must agree with Caprice. (Seems odd to write. Sure you aren't my evil twin?)
I used to teach a teen youth group. We had this discussion about if it belongs to a Christian.... does it become "Christian"? If a Christian wears socks, is it immediately "Christian socks?" Surprisingly enough, many answered, "YES!"
A shame if our faith is only title/experiencially based rather than "Hey world, this is me." It concerns me that Christians grab the name tag to define who they are, rather than be who they are. If our works are to speak a message, then we shouldn't have to put a name tag on it. Was Dante's inferno classified as Christian or what?

When it comes to books, as a shopper I'd love to find a Christian Sci-Fi label. Jeff, however is right: such a label dooms us to obscurity.
