I sniffed around, and Eberwein is not a typical fundie Christian: http://eberweins.blogspot.com/2006/10/fresh-flowers.html Q. Are you a Christian? A. No. I take the minimal definition of a Christian to be a person who is sure that Jesus of Nazareth was divine, or part-divine, and that the Resurrection was a real event. I don't believe either of those things. ... Q. Do you believe in God? A. Yes, to my own satisfaction, though not necessarily to yours. I don't believe in a sort of super-guy with a human-ish personality (yes, yes, I know that's the wrong way round: we are supposed to be made in His image) who can be put in a good mood by proper ceremonies, whose mind can be fathomed by reading scripture, and whose help can be enlisted through prayer. I belong to the 16 percent of Americans who, in the classification used for a recent survey, believe in a Critical God. My God is at, or possibly just is, one pole of the great two-poled mystery of everything: the origin of the universe, which passeth all human understanding. He is the Creator. Since He was present in the cosmos then, I assume He is now (or now, since He is obviously outside spacetime); and since I can apprehend Him, I assume He is aware of me. The two poles of mystery, the Him and the Me (I mean, the invidual human consciousness, the I, the Me that's the second pole) are in contact somehow, and may actually be the same thing, as is hinted at by some by some religious teachers outside Christianity. I am, in short, a Mysterian.
