Why "God" Isn't Christian

Funny, a little standardized testing will decimate a teacher's ability to write meaningful blogs. Finally, I find a moment to share about my recent conversion to Secular Humanism in some greater detail. The title of this post may seem to lack the elements of my current belief, but this if for good reason. So many of my friends and readers are considered "faithful" that I need address my change in beliefs much in the same manner as one would cook the proverbial frog - slowly heating the water with the frog in place not dropping it into a roiling vat. 

God or mythological being? Depends on when you lived.

Versed vs. Unversed

When I decide to read a non-fiction work on a certain subject, I always look at the author's biographical information. Overall, I could care less about the small blurbs about their personal lives. No, when researching a particular subject and seeking literature on the matter, I care about pedigree. Where did they go to school? What did they study? What authority do they have to speak on the matter-at-hand? All these questions become vitally important, as I don't wish to waste my time or be misinformed or worse, misled. (For example, if I desire knowledge about the role of the United States in international relations, I am much more likely to consult Colin Powell as Ann Coulter.)
