					<description><![CDATA[I just finished up The Puppet and the Dwarf: The Perverse Core of Christianity by Slavoj Zizek, the so-called wildman of philosophy. And I keep going back to a passage on the very first page of the intro. In it, Zizek says that religion in our current day of global empire is limited to two [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Writes Jacques Berlinerblau: &#8220;The 2008 presidential election is probably the first in American history that has spawned a veritable faith and politics industry.&#8221; We haven&#8217;t had one for a while?? I can see the complex part though. Ralph Reed has to have some trippy hang ups. But industry? It&#8217;s a far cry from the Model [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Back to Sharon Welch in After Empire. An atheist, she writes: What, then, is the religious? This is the name we give to those encounters and energies that are constitutive but amoral, those encounters that are vivid, compelling, and meaningful, but fragile. (Page 30.) I&#8217;m still chewing on that.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[[Parts one and two.] Say what you will about the irreligious, but they&#8217;re not us UUs. We&#8217;ve got atheists and agnostics to be sure, they aren&#8217;t irreligious. Otherwise they wouldn&#8217;t come to worship or sign the membership book. Or perhaps we&#8217;re looking at the religious irreligious? I don&#8217;t know. I hate to contribute to our [&#8230;]]]></description>

One author wrote of the coming of [tag]Chrislam[/tag], a merger of [tag]Christian[/tag] and [tag]Islamic[/tag] [tag]fundamentalism[/tag]. I scoffed at his ignorance of religion&#8212;typical journalist. Then Rebecca Blood lets us know that Chrislam is, in fact, real&#8212;and [&#8230;]]]></description>
