		<description><![CDATA[C.S. Lewis argued for something he called the Law of Nature. By this he meant a moral law, one that each of us has built within us even if we don&#8217;t follow it.
But is he right?
If no moral law exists then you and I can do whatever we want. Moreover, a prototype doesn&#8217;t exist either. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=colbystream.wordpress.com&blog=4074115&post=890&subd=colbystream&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I want to become someone I&#8217;m not.
USA Network debuted a new series last month called White Collar. It stars Matt Bomer as a convicted con artist named Neal Caffrey, who helps the FBI catch white collar criminals.
Caffrey possesses some qualities I really admire. He&#8217;s relaxed. He&#8217;s smart. He&#8217;s charming. He wears handsome suits.

		<description><![CDATA[ This week I&#8217;ve written about the nature of God, whether he&#8217;s absolute or relative. Stephen and Cody have both offered profound comments at the bottom of the linked page. I&#8217;ve spent time pondering both of their thoughts and have created my own.
I&#8217;ve decided that God is neither absolute or relative.

		<description><![CDATA[Two day ago Stephen suggested (in the comment section) that relative is the wrong word to describe God. He said that I am relative to God, rather than the other way around.
I am not sure that relative is the best word to describe what you are describ[ing]. After all, God isn’t relative to you, you [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=colbystream.wordpress.com&blog=4074115&post=854&subd=colbystream&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I feel like God&#8217;s people have screwed him up. I feel like we&#8217;ve built a structure around him, similar to how a manager builds policies for an employee. With these policies we interpret God&#8217;s actions, or even create a grid of what God will and won&#8217;t do. Often we do this by defining aspects of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=colbystream.wordpress.com&blog=4074115&post=847&subd=colbystream&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apologia is the Latin noun for &#8220;apology/defense/justification/explanation.&#8221;
I have named this blog after the noun to describe what I intend to do here: justify and explain what I believe.
Be clear: I will not defend my &#8220;faith&#8221; as in Protestantism, Catholicism, Mormonism, Islam, ect. I naturally detour away from many beliefs of all these religions.
