I've started a blog on www.blogspot.com. In hope to get some more audience to it I'll cross-write those entries on this website. (Maybe more condensed here)

The purpose of this blog is to write down and give thoughts about christian radio programs I listen to quite regulary. You can find this blog under http://christianrr.blogspot.com (Christian Radio Review).

To make it clear: This blog is a review of christian radio and not a christian review of radio.

As an atheist in Europe you will have to address the issue of the magnificent cathedrals that you find all over in Europe. Todd explained how this grandeur of those buildings reflect the greatness of God, how those building tell the believing Christian about God and his relationship with God in

making the person in the building feel exceedingly small in comparison to God.
Those cathedrals can't do that to me.

Even more, those cathedrals are the grandest failure in the history of Christianity.

Here you can find my latest entry on 'The Way of the Master Radio'

Todd is right about the intentions of the planners and builders of those monumental building. Were those intentions really achieved?
Those buildings portray a stunning beauty, a breathtaking might - but they don't portray God in any way. They also don't portray the human race as small and powerless. They do the opposite. No stone in those cathedrals was set by God, no statue was carved by God, no window was colored by God, nothing of the perceivable beauty in those cathedrals was created by God. Those building are in all their magnificence, their grandeur and their stunning beauty creations of human beings.
Find something equally beauty in nature as those cathedrals! Compare the beauties of human arts to the beauties of nature.!Compare the chants of birds to the music written by Bach (especially his Brandenburg Concertos).
In every field of art human artist created magnificent pieces of beauty and grandeur. And if they did it in adoration of their God they failed in the grandest way - their pieces of art exceeded anything in beautiful might that their supposed God created.
No Christian should be afraid that those unique creations of man will pass after the end of Christianity. There is a greater purpose to come for those buildings and pieces of art. As monuments and museums to a bygone superstition they will portray the grandeur and the might of human creativity.
