I don't mean to misrepresent. I am not Larry Sanger. I thought it relevant to HN and interesting because it was written by the co-founder of Wikipedia and because it appears to me to be a focusing of an analytical "Hacker" mind to the question of theology, which seems to be of greater interest to HN browsers lately.
Personally, it was interesting to me because it represents a more philosophical approach to the Christian religion than the subjective, social, or (quite frankly) economic approach I commonly see
I figured as much, so I edited my original comment. The article itself is well-written and fully documented. I also love the approach the author takes to his faith. Everyone is welcome to believe whatever they like, but I love to see a strong defense to whichever belief system you happen to be associated with.
