Sorry for hijacking the thread so much guys--but I've been keeping up with some of my peeps from my old U... One in particular. I like her quite a bit. Anyway--she's always been "spiritual", and we've talked about that from time to time. Anyway--now she's got a "spiritual counselor" who is teaching her to live in "peace and love". I don't need to go on; you guys know what I'm talking about.

So I told her about the Collins book that Matt's so fond of. (And it's a good listen, actually.) Anyway, she replies with stuff that *I* need to check out... such as this and this.

And this is why I don't really witness all that much. Because I honestly don't see the point. If someone wants to know God through Christ--they'll do it. If they don't (for whatever personal reasons that they may have), then they won't.

Here's a quote from her most recent email:

I don't necessarily believe that Christ was the Son of God literally. But I believe
that he "got it." I believe that So of God is a metaphor for someone who understood that all of us are sons and daughters of God.

So does this mean that I actually have to look at her stuff? And do I even bother responding to these views? When someone is so entrenched, what is the point?
