  1. Things go to really dark places when the two are separated.

  2. I've always thought saying "I''m spiritual but not religious" is a bit like saying, "I like listening to an orchestra tune up, but I don't like actual music."

  3. What do you do with Jesus' healing? Well, you can see that when God came to Earth, He healed people. And that healing certainly mattered to the people being healed, which one could think of as reason enough for Him to do it. (Although some were more grateful than others.)

  4. What do you do with the Burning Bush? Well, remember that the Creator is the One who's at work here. There's something unique going on. Science can only tell us about things that show up again and again, and can be tested under lab conditions. This leads to an amazing wealth of knowledge that we can apply to things like going to the Moon. It can't explain things that don't happen repeatedly, and the assumption that everything happens repeatedly and can be tested in lab conditions is just that -- an assumption.

  5. Joe, the New Testament has been translated exactly once-- from the original Greek (that was spoken by the people who wrote it), twice if you count the fact that most of the words spoken by Christ were in Aramaic. The majority of the Old Testament is translated exactly once -- from the original Hebrew. This "game of translation telephone" is overstated at best, bad-faith argument at worst.
