| Introduction | My journey, over the last decade, has taken me from a fundamentalist to one who embraced Barth and his “neo-orthodoxy” – later, from a follower of the emergent movement to a self-proclaimed agnostic. Now I find myself as a student, sitting at the feet of Voltaire, forming what can only be described as a post-modern deistic theology with an anti-fundamental apologetic . . . ardently waging war against the proponents of Fideism. Perhaps fickle – perhaps a radical distaste for the incompatibly of logic and the theological constructs offered by so many, if not all, organized religions. |

Why does the color blue mean raspberry-flavored?
Rubus Leucodermis is a deciduous shrub bearing dark-colored fruit . . . (e.g. blackcap raspberry, whitebark raspberry and blue raspberry). Although the color of the fruit differs from the bright-blue coloring of flavored food products, it is said to have a more intense and sour flavor than the common (red) raspberry and, therefore, is differentiated in its aesthetic qualities.
