Sex and money
Fred Clark, a.k.a. Slacktivist, showing in a three part series why he’s my favorite Christian blogger, and probably my favorite philosophy inclined blogger around. Also, I will be pointing anyone with a religious-based “reason” for anti-gay bigotry to these articles in the future. Either they’ll get it or they won’t – but if they can read that and still be clueless, nothing I say will get through. So – time saver!

These sorts of articles, when I come across them four years later, make me insatiably curious as to “how it turned out”. Did he ever get out of the business? Is he in jail now? Dead? That’s something that I like about This American Life – when they rerun an article, if it’s applicable they’ll update you as to how everyone is now. Satisfying.
