A Slow Day on the Religion Blog
Jeffrey Weiss, on the The Dallas Morning News Religion blog, dutifully keeps us up-to-date on the story about the two men in Georgia who claim to have Big Foot in a freezer. Weiss tells us that today's news conference, at which the men promised to reveal all, revealed...nothing. Like that came as a surprise to anyone.
Weiss, in a second post, speculates whether an executed murderer, who professed his faith in Jesus and remorse over the killings that sent him to death row, might now be in heaven. Lots of reader comment on that one. The question is as meaningless as speculation about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, but somehow modern readers don't quite get it yet.
Finally, Sam Hodges brings us a backgrounder on tomorrow's appearances by John McCain and Barack Obama at Pastor Rick Warren's Saddleback Church to discuss "pressing issues that are bridging divides in our nation, such as poverty, HIV/AIDS, climate and human rights." The number of reader comments? Zero. The number of readers wanting to discuss Big Foot and murderers in heaven? Twenty-seven and counting. Sigh.
