This fascinating little piece from Newsweek points out that many beliefs of American Christians aren't Christian at all, at least not the biblical Christianity of our ancestors. Even evangelical Christians stray fairly far from traditionally held, biblical views. Reincarnation anyone?Click here to read the article.
This article makes a great point, but the ending didn't sound right to me. I don't understand how choosing cremation shows that people don't believe in resurrection of the body. Are we supposed to believe that God can reassemble our decayed bodies if they are buried in the ground, but the God of the universe can't find our atoms if we've been burned? After what God has already done, I'm sure God will think of something!
