Has anyone read the Schick comic that says Christian rock music is of the devil? The argument was that Christian rock gets people interested in normal rock, thereby leading people on the path to Satan. I always thought it was ironic; couldn't one say the same thing about comics.

There are worse shows on TV, but I personally don't like it because of the storyline in which the Glee coach essentially gets tired of his wife and decides to hook up with the other teacher. I see enough of that in real life; I don't need to see it on TV.

First of all, Christian blogging rules state that you must post about the Anne Rice situation within 36 hours after it happened. Posting a couple weeks after gives you way too much time to process and think about the situation and was not nearly knee-jerk enough.

On one hand, I can understand where she is coming from. Christianity is about Christ, and as long as she focuses on the object of her faith and the word of God, great.

On the other hand, Christianity is also about being part of a community, or to use an even stronger word, family. If she wants to follow Christ, great, but it will be significantly harder without a community behind her.

Like a family, the Christian church contains a group of many messed up people with all sorts of problems, but we stick with our family. I don't know if that was Rice's intent, but in some ways I felt like she was saying "I'm too good for my family". Perhaps I'm reading too much into it though.

Brant Hansen of Mornings with Brant said it best when he said (paraphrased) that she tends to think of Christians as Fred Phelps or punk rockers who beat up homosexuals. Why she has such a skewed view of who Christians are I don't know.
