LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY obifrodo)

OK, I have never done this before with a link, so I hope this works:

This is a post by the Green Knight, a liberal/progressive Episcopal sort of guy who has a heady yet accessible blog which often deals with religion. Actually, he is linking to Slacktivist in his own post (but I like Green Knight's comments too, so I'll link to him and not straight to Slacktivist).

A snip:
Some ex-fundamentalists turn out just fine. But when you've been taught this starkly terrified world view, in which the only alternatives are fairy tales or total depravity, it's difficult to find the third option -- difficult even to conceptualize a third option.
