Not a good couple of days. I have no motivation. I don't even want to be motivated really, but that's on me and it's something I have to man up to and face. Instead of elaborating on the last couple of days, here are some links to check out:
• A contributor to The Burnside Writers' Collective take a look at the growing prosperity gospel, comparing it--rightly in my opinion--to voodoo.
• Jon Stewart takes a look at recent election coverage ... yes, there were elections Tuesday.
• Joanna Brooks from "The Religion Dispatches" examines the complicated past between the Mormon church and blacks.
• Recent controversy surrounding Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes has led the player willingly to sit out the entire Vanderbilt game, ESPN's Chris low reports. Spikes was previously benched for half of the Vandy game by coach Urban Meyer after an eye gouging incident in the team's win over rival Georgia last week.
• WIRED magazine's Matthew Shechmeister wrote an amusing article about the death of Geocities.
• A friend of mine showed this video in class today, saying he imagines it to be a foretaste of Christ's return, the nations dancing together.
That's all for now. I'll write something when my finger stops hurting.
