Breakfast Links for 10/19/12:

Faith & Religion

Three Deadliest Words: “It’s a Girl”: A girl’s life in these places is cruel and short. Better to end it at the outset (besides, there are too many of their kind in the first place, seems the implication)…But horrible as the film shows such practices to be, is it all that different from any system in which our existence depends upon our worth, and our worth upon our cost?

Brian D. McLaren: Why We’re Leaving Church – a Report From the “Nones”

The Year of Faith: Re-igniting the Romance: “Year of Faith . . . what would that look like for someone who has been practicing the faith for many years, for someone who fell head over heels in love with Jesus in young adulthood, and now, a number of years later, finds the romance is gone?”

The Gangsta From Galilee: “The lesson is simple: we need not sterilize the fruits of the Spirit into the sort of thing that paralyzes and compromises. Paul never said ‘the fruit of the Spirit never offends, never hurts feelings, never makes people uncomfortable.’”

The ‘Jesus Wife’ Fragment a Forgery?: But for those of you who wanted to place more faith in the veracity of fragmentary postcards than the canon of scripture, you have my sympathies for falling for what now appears to be a rather amateurish forgery.

You Can’t Be President and Follow Jesus: “You can’t wear two hats, a religious one and a secular governmental one, and follow Jesus. Jesus invites us to count all things as rubbish besides knowing him.”
