		<description><![CDATA[This post is about the hesitancy, or outright self-censorship, felt by many of us in telling our family and friends why we now follow Jesus instead of Mrs. Eddy. Sometimes that reticence even extends to going on record publicly about our reasons for leaving Christian Science, out of concern for how someone might be personally [...]]]></description>

The brotherly bond between Jim Ritchie in Alabama and Phil Moser in Alabama is an example. Last year after Phil told his story here, [...]]]></description>

Although honoring our parents according to the Fifth Commandment is never optional, family loyalty is not a sufficient reason for accepting a particular belief about God.

		<description><![CDATA[Trinitarian Christians pray in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Mary Baker Eddy&#8217;s followers worship a different trinity, as I was reminded recently by a friend&#8217;s article in the Christian Science periodicals. Their God, though usually called &#8220;He,&#8221; is identified as both Mother and Father, and is more often impersonally described as [...]]]></description>

Solids in milk we intend to drink are usually a problem, but liquids in meat are fine: a nice, juicy steak. Both are consumed, and make gas, and result in physical growth, stoking our engine so we can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Relying on a textbook they call the Key to the Scriptures and on six tenets that seem to uphold the Scriptures, many faithful Christian Scientists are unaware of how radically their religion reinterprets the Bible and how sharply it departs from the historic consensus of Protestant,Catholic, and Orthodox theology.
