Post-Modern as Heresy
Over at Youthworker, Gareth Brandt has an interesting article. Here's an excerpt:
The truth of the Bible is embodied in an alternative community, not in a ruling society. ...The early church was called to be an alternative witnessing community, open to all peoples but standing in stark and prophetic contrast to the Roman power structures.
Christian theology in a postmodern time needs to be radical, dynamic, and relational. Radical theology doesn't necessarily follow the mainstream; it listens to the voices from the margins, just as Jesus did. It's not afraid to be heretical in the sense of a religious opinion that differs from the accepted dogma of the establishment.

Life is good. Even when you feel like you're chewing tinfoil all day, it's a reminder: you're alive. Zombies chew tinfoil, they feel nothing. And don't think it doesn't bother them. Link
A Rant Worth Reading
"Way-to-go, Pen" over at The Gutless Pacifist. He picks up on some of the comments made at The Right Christians about whether America is more (or less) Christian than ever. A sample of his excellent rant:
