To believe in God or not to believe in God..that really isn't the question...

Newsweek carried an intriguing debate between Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest and Sam Harris, a renowned atheiest who wrote the book, "A Letter to a Christian Nation," that I really want to read.
These types of subjects come up around this time because of Easter and Passover and whatnot. I'm rather happy though that Newsweek especially does a pretty good job in being thorough about religious topics. The interview between Warren and Harris shows that, as does editor's Jon Meachem's great article.

Warren/Harris debate

I do have to say that Rabbi Marc Gellman is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers. He has such a strong pragmatism that is rooted in rich spiritual ideals. He responds to the debate and the article with the concept that both are right. In the end, what you believe in God really is contingent about what you believe about life, the world and yourself.

Here's his response:

Gellman's response

Have a great Easter and Passover, and no matter you're beliefs, have a good weekend.
