Red Stick Rant: "Religion Meets Pop Culture"

Over on Red Stick Rant, The Grey Man has written one of the best responses there is to the public/mob reaction to the Casey Anthony verdict in her trial-by-American-jury.

In "Religion Meets Pop Culture", he reframes the questions - and our reaction - to ask for some healthy, and long overdue, introspection. I didn't even follow the case and I will spend part of my day thinking about this. It's worth your time to read it all.

Just stopped by to say that I live and work in a tiny village in a tiny cottage shaded by cedar trees, so naturally I have to link to your beautiful blog.

Awww, thank you so much! Sounds like a lovely place to be. Coincidentally, I just added Bread Upon the Waters to my blog roll too. :-)
