Bishop John Spong's provocative book is "The Sins of Scripture." In it, Bishop Spong deplores the way the bible has been used to justify most of the world's evils; from gender inequality, homosexuality and child abuse, to capital punishment, the environment, and birth control. In the interview, he discusses the rise of muslim fundamentalism and laments that congregations at mainstream churches are in freefall. (Originally aired May 2005)

A Mr. Filthy Rags Production:
* John Shelby Spong is a liberal Christian theologian, religion commentator and author. He calls for a fundamental rethinking of Christian belief, away from theism and from traditional doctrines.
( Freethinking is freethinking to me, though I do not share the same beliefs as Spong, I can respect a logical, more rational approach to a system of beliefs. I also LOVE the criticisms he makes of the monotheistic religions of today and of the past. )
