A friend passed on this interesting article on John Lennon and Jesus. Lennon, it seems, met Jesus: A television addict for many years (it was his way of looking at the world since he could no longer walk around anonymously), he enjoyed watching some of America’s best-known evangelists—Pat Robertson, Billy Graham, Jim Bakker, and Oral…

ok, this is actually really cool. I have had it for a few hours but haven’t had much time to fiddle -now i am fiddling and it is better than I thought it would be. To call it a phone is a bit of a disservice. It is really an amazing little computer/ipod/tv/phone and thank…

Ok, so we are here in line waiting outside an Apple store in a mall. It occurs to me that my piece on Apple as a religion may actually be true. 😉 Apple employees are bringing people bottles of water. They are thanking people for waiting in line. So, my thoughts on the 10 things…

…the line grows and grows but I’m in pretty good shape…I am, however, looking at the very definition of despair. There is a young man staffing a “Mobile Solution” kiosk displaying lots of different cell phones…that aren’t iphones. He keeps looking at the line and the lack of people at his kiosk and he looks…

I need to make something VERY clear here. I DO NOT endorse what anyone writes in the comments section. Everyone should think of that section as a separate discussion room where people gather to talk. It is, mostly, an unmoderated room because I believe – and Beliefnet believes- in the conversation about things of faith…

Yesterday I have an email forwarded to me from someone who says they want to take up my “challenge” about Christians and Ann Coulter. The “someone” is Darrell Bock. For those who might now know him: Darrell Bock is Research Professor of New Testament Studies and Professor of Spiritual Development and Culture at Dallas Theological…

…has blown through the damn…I’m running off to a store to stand in line for an iphone. I can’t help myself. Maybe it will be like an AA meeting, “Hello, my name is David and I am an Apple addict.” Provided there is Wifi, I will try and justify my line-waiting in future posts.

Several readers point out that Ms. Coulter’s words about Sen. Edwards were taken out of context. She did not say that she was actively wishing he would be killed but that, to avoid problems in the future, she should say it would be good if he had been killed in much the same way that…

This morning I went with my friend to the doctor. It was not a happy visit. I don’t know how many happy visits ALS patients get. About that enough said. I keep thinking about the Grahams, about Billy who is still with us and Ruth who no longer is. I keep thinking about what they…

This morning Kim and I were talking about the utter mystery of, well, everything – especially the bad and troubling things. Finally, in a summation that draws on her sensible Kansas roots, her voracious intellect, her snazzy Stanford education, and her deep faith she says this, “It is God, it isn’t your uncle.” I am…
