1585 Reader Mail
Here's the section where I respond to your e-mails (just click the contact link to send me one). I guess I won't necessarily post every e-mail I receive — just the ones that ask questions or raise points that I feel like responding to, and that I feel it would be helpful for everyone to be able to see. So, if you just write to say whassup or to tell me you like the site, then that's awesome, and I promise you a response back, but it won't necessarily appear here. As far as "hate mail" goes, we are totally willing to post e-mails from people who don't like the site, as long as their e-mail is coherent/interesting (so no simple "Arrgh! Fuck you!" stuff).

Dear 1585:
Thank you for replying. Do
you mind if we continue our correspondence? It
is rare
enough that I get to have a
civil, meaningful intellectual conversation with another Christian. But
a civil, meaningful
intellectual
conversation with an atheist? That
is
too tempting to pass up, not to mention the joy that comes from working
to reconcile
you with God...

Dear 1585:
I am a Christian Apologist. Have you heard of the term? If not, a Christian Apologist is someone who attempts to logically provide the reasons for what he/she believes. I didn't write to try to convince you that the Old Testament stories are correct or anything else about my religion you think is ridiculous. I just want to establish the foundation of the belief that the existence of God *is necessary* for the existence of the universe...

In your recent first person essay you mentioned anecdotally that you are for gun control and do not believe people should be allowed to carry firearms around 24/7. I would like to request further clarification of your views on this, as so far I find myself in opposition to them. This is the first thing you've said I've found myself disagreeing with. I would be very interested in your reasons for this view...

Dear 1585,
When
I
first read your essays,
I was glad that I finally
found a website that agreed with the liberal and conservative
viewpoints I
have. I used to
refuse to call myself a
liberal because I did not want to be associated with the UREGs.

Dear 1585:
First off, love the site. Your articles are like reading new thoughts of my own I hadn't quite developed yet, for the most part. But there is something that nags at me. A few months ago, I probably wouldn't have taken any notice, but I wasn't very happy then and I now think I know why.

Dear 1585:
I have been reading your articles for a while now (since about 500 on the site-meter) and i always enjoy reading the newest one and getting an idea of how you see a certain prevalent issue. However, what I have noticed is a quite distinguished shift from fairly hard-line liberal ideas to some quite conservative theories on society...Read the rest of this e-mail and Lord Grammaticus's response here.
