On Christian Cults

You’d think that people would catch on to the fact that churches with night club names (“Dwell,” “Lift,” “Sponge”), pastors in jeans, and killer Instagram accounts go hand-in-hand with news stories like this one.

A Better Way To Anti-Consumer

I’m enjoying this one immensely. I far prefer the anti-consumerism of the 80s and early 90s to the sort of shrill pap that passes as edgy these days. DeLillo is satirical, but he doesn’t believe that satirizing consumerism is brave. He doesn’t believe it is a metaphysics or a creed. It’s not a dogma.

Parent: My child has too much writing homework. Teacher: How much time is your child spending on their writing homework? Parent: My son went up to his room last night at 5:30 to start working on his writing homework and when I checked on him at 11:30, he was still going. Six hours—that’s unacceptable.

Lecture 1 of 2: The World To Me

If marriage is a sacrament, it must also be a cosmology. In this lecture, Joshua Gibbs presents marriage not as theory, not as theology, but as world-building. Well suited to single people, those dating, newlyweds, romantics, and cynics.

Fear Of A Sheltered Life

Student: I know how you feel about the matter, but I’m thinking about going to a secular college next year. Gibbs: How come? Student: I don’t want to live in a bubble. If I don’t go to a secular college, I’m worried I’ll go through my whole life without ever knowing anything about other people’sContinue reading “Fear Of A Sheltered Life”
