“An Eternal Oxymoron”
Here is a very good article on the ever-growing intersection between Christianity and pop culture.
I really liked the following excerpts:
“At this point in history, American evangelicals resemble the Israelites at various dangerous moments in the Old Testament: They are blending into the surrounding heathen culture, and having ever more trouble figuring out where it ends and they begin.The article is only a couple of pages long, and is well worth the time it takes to read. You’ll still have plenty of time to catch Dancing With The Stars.
It’s always been a stretch to defend Christian pop culture as the path to eternal salvation. Now, they may have to face up to the fact that it’s more like an eternal oxymoron.”

I actually read that article, and thought it was one of Slate's more thoughtful and serious offerings. Do you read Slate regularly?
Rachael,
No I don’t. I only read it every now and then. I do appreciate the sarcasm that is a feature of a lot of their articles.
Luke? Appreciate sarcasm? Surely not.
Veronica,
Yeah, it doesn't seem very likely, does it?
