Why I am doing this at all

I realized that I probably should put a sort of 'mission statement' out about why I'm making this blog. I believe that education about religion is vital. It is my belief that many of the horrible things done in the name of religion spring from ignorance. Therefore, I want to focus on the historical background of Christianity to allow people to make an informed decision(s) about the religion. I also believe in public education. I see many instances in which intelligent people who truly wish to learn are held back by their circumstances. I am lucky enough to attend the College of William and Mary (I'm a Religious Studies major) and I want to aid the education of those who want to learn but who do not have access to higher education. I hope to learn from anyone who wants to follow this blog. I have found that just because someone does not have formal education does not mean that you cannot learn from them. I hope through my postings, the comments of others and any debates that ensue will lead to greater education for all - so spread the word!!
