About Me
- Ken Brown
- A husband, a father, a deacon, a grad student, but above all a saved sinner. C. Orthodoxy is my online home, a place to explore the links between Christian faith and postmodern culture. As my masthead suggests, I hope I am orthodox, but I have no finished system, just a passion for that beautiful yet indistinct line between heaven and earth. I've now moved over to Wordpress, where I'm always looking for good discussion and new friends. For a fuller introduction, see my About page.

That's classic. Thanks for sharing.
Ken,
I notice an absence of engangement with reality on your part. There's nothing about religiously motivated atrocities by Israel in Gaza.
I was going to offer a witty rejoinder, but you're right--the subject deserves attention.
Still, I question your reduction of the issues to "religiously motivated atrocities by Israel." What, no concern for the atrocities by Hamas? Nor can you reduce the issues to religion alone--economics, politics, group loyalties and all manner of other issues surely have as much to do with fostering violence in the Middle East as religion.
I wouldn't reduce the issue to one of religiously motivated atrocities. I would just point to the role of religion in the conflict. Nor would I wish to overlook the 13 Israelis killed, as opposed to 1300 Palestinians (or approximately these numbers). What I would underline is that the mythology of the Promised Land for the Chosen People is a key factor in Jewish colonisation of Palestine.
