I'm a preacher's kid, an atheist, and an anarchist, and I couldn't appreciate this piece more. Thanks for taking the time to write it.

Thanks Timothy! That’s a very encouraging reply. I’m curious to know what you appreciate about it.

I think it was written very gracefully. I didn't feel preached at. Many writers when using Scripture apply that Scripture with a sledgehammer: "WOE UNTO THE UNBELIEVER!“ I got none of that. As an unbeliever, you invited me in to consider your faith-based position, and because of your grace I was willing to walk through your argument with you.

Plus, we invented blue jeans. Which the whole world admits are cool.
