  • Jesus = Religion? Jesus > Religion? Jesus < Religion?

    OK. I got called out on Facebook to respond to the latest viral video, “Why I Hate Religion, but Love Jesus” (AKA “Jesus > Religion”). So, what better reason to give the old blog a re-boot than to answer the call here in a place where I can use more than 140 characters (are you following me on Twitter?).

    The video in question is on its way to 14 million views. To put that in context, the latest Kia Hamstar commercial only has 13M (like that shameless plug?).

    Looks like I’m updating this thing once a year. Since the last time I used it, the site has broken. So, I’ll have to spend some time fixing it. What’s been going on since the last annual update? Let’s see how much I can remember.
