How much does our obsession with choice influence how we understand theology?
Speaking of obsession...
Hopefully she'll forgive me for posting pictures of her without her "clothes" on, but I had just brushed her and wanted to capture her looking pretty before she got her fur messed up much more.

Awww. Looking good Lucy girl!
You ask an interesting question.
I would have to say that I think the American virtue of individualism (of which this dedication to choice is a large part) is part of why we have such a fragmented Christianity in this country. I like choice and my free agency as much as the next person, but I also *chose* to practice my faith in an environment where my theological choices cease to be limitless. My choices, instead of being between theological options, are whittled down to questions about my obedience and personal actions. There is something to be said for that approach. I don't have to reinvent the theological wheel, I do have to examine my heart and conscience and to choose to follow Christ.
And ignore my punctuation, please... I'm still half asleep!
Lucy looks lovely. And they were modest, if provocative, shots.
