And this...

Is why I hated that movie.
Remember watching "The Apostle" a few months ago? This is an example of why I disliked the movie. Why was everyone gathered around a man who just had his head bashed with a baseball bat praying loudly, when what he needed was immediate medical attention? Someone call an ambulance!
It happens in real life. I hate that.

I would very much encourage all of you to head over to Religion Dispatches and read this interview. Questions to ponder and discuss when next you gather at the Buffalo Grille:

• is Paul really someone who espouses "love thy neighbor," or is he merely using an old Jewish addage to get what he wants?
• is morality a product of religion, or does morality give rise to its own religious context?
• do you agree with the book's title?

Just a few thoughts to get you going.

Check it out. The manuscript, in Greek, is about 1600 years old.

It's time for... "Save Your Soul!"

A news story on CNN speaks about a new show to be aired on Turkish television, wherein a contestant listens to an Islamic imam, Catholic priest, Jewish rabbi and Buddhist monk (no, this is not the start of a bad joke) and chooses to be "converted." The story is here.
So, after reading the story, what are your thoughts? Do you feel that it's funny, or irreverent? Gutsy or dangerous?
