A call to all bigots

http://christianretail.blogspot.com/ or the "impish post" has a good level of distance from the topic. He's got some edge which is what I missed about the other more religious blogs. I mean, he calls Christians lazy, that's something.

And as for my fav yenta, I appreciate that she directs her audience to posts we should read first. Not being up on my Jew speak (don't let me last name, Schwartz fool you) I had no idea what a Rebbetzin was. She's totally with it and has a great style, BUT, once again, she falls into the stereotypical voice that I assumed she would take on. Does that make any sense? I find that no matter how authentic the zealots and critics among the bloggers are, I can still see them as film characters that I've watched before-more so than I have in the past with other bloggers. Maybe because what is at the heart of their blogs is something a lot more ancient than Harriet Miller.

Like Brett's suggestion of http://www.reallivepreacher.com/newsite there's something so, dare i say, priceless about a preacher who asks you to pay that it's like everything that has been stereotpyically trashed about hypocrisy in organized religion comes through, right there on the screen.

And I enjoy Jesus of the week suggestion, it's a new brand of religious dorkery that's pretty awesome. Ahh, I'm starting to get used to these G-rated blogs on such contested issues.

    I couldn't get too good a handle on RebRev, myself. The ratio of insider dialect was just a little too high for a goy like me to feel in on the jokes. Oh well.

    Don't worry, Brie, I'm sure we'll be back to the viciousness of politi-blogs all too soon. Maybe we should enjoy this "Walk In The Clouds" a little? Nah...
