conjectural navel gazing; jesus in lint form

friday feast

This is a rare moment on this blog. This is the "Friday Feast" from the Emmaus Theory folk.

Appetizer Have you ever seen a ghost or an angel?

You betcha. When I lived at Richmond Hill, I saw a ghost/shade. She was a novice pulling bread from the ghostly ovens in the basement. The basement apartment I had used to be the diocese' bakery. It was eerie and cool all at once.

Soup
What is your favorite board game?

I would have to say Risk. But I am not a fan of board games.

Salad
What was the last movie you saw that made you cry?

Boy, this is embarassing. Patch Adams was a gift this year. I cried when his girlfriend was killed. Also, if you have not seen Finding Neverland, please go rent it.

Main Course
What would you do if you had 3 months off from your job?

I would like to say something like "finish my thesis," but I would be lying. I think I would travel. France would be nice.

Dessert
What kind of shoes are you wearing today?

Black GBX, size 10.5.

So, there you go. I would tag some people, but I am sure they are too busy. Right, Susie, Rich, AKMA and Justin? They are certainly too busy. Surely.

The Young Evangelical has an interesting reflection on faith and certainty and how it relates to the current science/religion debate.
Weinberger posted on blogging and hierarchies.Karl has opened the same topic on his blog. So, do blogs subvert hierarchies? I think they can. But so can anything else for that matter. And blogging communities are just as likely to become hierarchical as any other community.
Rich is posting about how our global population shifts are reflected in our political shifting and ideological struggles. Red states simply out-breed blue.
Narnia is not about Christianity.
And, finally, someone is suing over the whole Jesus business. There is also this post from the Pope's Christmas sermon.

"A united humanity will be able to confront the many troubling problems of the present time," the pope said, "from the menace of terrorism to the humiliating poverty in which millions of human beings live, from the proliferation of weapons to the pandemics and the environmental destruction which threatens the future of our planet."

And I enabled the comments again. *sigh* Dern spam. I even get Technorati spam.
