I finished Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time by Marcus Borg today. Don't get me wrong - I think that Borg's position is much more intellectually honest, morally pure, and well-intentioned than traditional Christians. And for all of my Christian friends, I encourage you to read either this book or another one written by Marcus Borg. He's written many books advocating a progressive Christianity, and I'm sure they're just as good as this one.
But it's still just not convincing for me. If I had to pick though, I'd pick a faith like his (or John Shelby Spong, another Jesus Seminar guy).

Maybe Borg would agree with me. Maybe he's okay with my "no thanks" response. If so, I have no bones to pick with him.
