Melissa, thanks for making the article more accessible.

I took a "philosophy of religion" class in college years ago. Learned nothing, except that it was taught by and agnostic. I don't think much has changed since then. If you are interested in exploring some things about Christian appologetics there is a great academic sight called www.christiancounterculture.com. This has some fantastic articles on lots of subjects from many view points. I don't know if you are majoring in photography, but I consider it an art form. The articles from Frankie Schaffer are great. They are from his book "Addicted to Medioctrity" (which is out of print now). You may want to take a look ... or not.

I don't know that much about Judaism, but like you I would like to know more. I think my great grandfather on my mother's side may have been Jewish and he left Germany in the 20's and changed the spelling of his name. It is not something I know for certain, but one day I would like to find out if it is true and learn why he felt the need to do it. Family history, it can be something that really shapes us more than we know. ....ooops getting a little serious here.

Well there's my two cents worth. - Ellen
