Blogging around

A couple of posts that caught my eye. Both in the tradition of holding up the faith as a mirror to evangelical christians and asking: "What do you really believe? How does that match up with your voting and buying habits?"

First, a good post on something I have ranted on before. How do people who will fight their school board to insist that God created the earth in a literal 7 days spend so little effort trying to protect his creation?

Waste is a failure of design - Laryn and Janel Online: "It%u2019s Earth Day again, 35 years later, not that you can tell we've learned much in that time. (Bush%u2019s horrid environmental record was barely a blip on the campaign trail last year, especially among us evangelical Christians, who seem to be slow in clueing in to the fact that God cares about the world that God created.) Now, just in time for the Earth Day anniversary celebration, the House has voted to allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, along with a lot of other dirty pork."

And then this one that holds up the early church and asks how the Dobson/Mohler/Land/Bush/Frist freakshow measures up with this:

Distance: "Act 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all [men], as every man had need. Act 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, "
