Smart Christian.....A blogging site that gets it....
There are many reasons why I appreciate reading the blog Smart Christian, but this is one of them:
Again, while some bloggers will be crying the "theological devil incarnate," I say, "bring them on." In my opinion, a variety is crucial for the conversational health of the Christian blogoshpere.
Thanks for your work Steve. Although I'm sure I won't agree with everything, for one, I appreciate your efforts.
This comment was made in reference to this, and this.
While some bloggers continue to point fingers, attack, and even list other Christian blogging sites as ones to stay away from or "heretical", Smart Christian continues to encourage the dialogue and discussion in the Christian arena, though he may not agree with everything. While some sites devote their entire time to discrediting, Smart Christian devotes time to building up, and pointing people towards hope in the midst of a lot of theological discussion and transition. Thanks for your work at Smart Christian.

Rhett, wow! I just happened to post something on this exact thought. I've personally gotten sick of reading blogs and posts by Christians who are about nothing more than tearing down one another because they do not agree with them. They call them "pagan" or "evil" or whatever.
Anyway, I just got to the point where I was totally broken. I responded to one, with every attempt to love and respect them, and eventually I e-mailed another, which is bringing, hopefully, at least a dialogue. There's a tentative agreement to read a book chosen by the other, just hopefully I will be able to shed some light in some way for them.
I'm just sick of Christians being known for their cutting down of oneanother than for their love and unity!
"they will know we are Christians by our excommunications, by our excommunications..."
I'll have to read up on those sites you recommend.
