My favorite Facebook post this week: "Kids playing with walkie talkies = shouting into it instead of talking, constant misunderstandings, and stalled at repeatedly asking each other "watcha doing now?" Sounds like they're ready for a FB account." (Melissa McKanna)
"Aslan is not presenting himself as an 'amateur historian' like David McCullough; he is claiming to be an academic historian with a doctorate degree in history." A worthy examination of Reza Aslan's claims to have the credentials necessary to be regarded as an authority on the New Testament. Aslan, a Muslim, has recently written a book rejecting the New Testament portrayal of Jesus.
By the by, I've yet to see any wry comment about a guy named "Aslan" who rejects the biblical Christ. Well, other than my own Twitter posts.
"Imagine a parody article like you’d find in the The Onion, only without the wit, humor, satire, or intelligence." Joe Carter nominates a NY Daily News "report" on a Brooklyn church plant as the worst religion report of the year. The article deserves the nomination.
"Enver worked fast, not bothering with clamps, cutting with his right hand, moving muscle and soft tissue aside with his left, slowing down only to make sure he excised the kidneys and liver cleanly. Even as Enver stitched the man back up—not internally, there was no point to that anymore, just so the body might look presentable—he sensed the man was still alive. I am a killer, Enver screamed inwardly. He did not dare to look at the face again, just as he imagined a killer would avoid looking at his victim." Chilling article about harvesting organs from executed convicts in China.
