Mr. Rogers: Still Gettin' It Said—11:43 PM
I know I link to Kung Fu Monkey way too much. I know I seem like Lisa Simpson to his Corey. (And, yes, I'd pay a few bucks a minute to hear him read the morning newspaper over the phone. I'd even pay for "Story, Allegory, Montessori.")
The thing is, he keeps agreeing with me completely on every issue of the day: politics, religion, the media, science, most movies ...even Lost! And he does so in an eminently readable and entertaining way.
This time around, it's the arch-religious, and their fight to protect future generations from the perils of rational free thought. (These are the people who cause weak-minded simpletons like me to hate religion and think of all Christians as nutjobs – they're so vocal it's hard to remember they represent a smallish, though growing, minority.)
[I]f you have so little faith in your faith, so little belief in its strength and beauty and inner radiant truth that you don't believe it can deal with, oh, say the real world ... then exactly what the hell kind of religion are you following anyway?
I'm sorry. I'm a fan. There will probably continue to be some Kung Fu linkage around these parts for a while to come.
