And the healing has begun

Saturday’s edition of A Prairie Home Companion was called a Bonus Joke Show and it followed the presidential election, so the mind naturally turns to Christian-bashing — or, to use host Garrison Keillor’s more specific target, "born-again Christian"-bashing.

Come one, come all

The web elves at Christianity Today have compiled what they’re calling the “longest CT Weblog ever.” Well over 400 links on Arlen Specter, Democrats and Religion, Human Rights, and Sports, plus a few dozen other subjects. To call it comprehensive would not do it justice. Go. Read. Marvel at the determination of Olsen and Moll to cover every topic under the sun. Solomon in all his glory did not think to produce a weblog like this.

In his latest Slate dispatch, Christopher Hitchens (in a departure from his pre-election shrug) comes out swinging for George W. Bush. He begins by taking "strong exception" to the charge that one must be a "God-bothering, pulpit-pounding Armageddon-artist, enslaved by ancient texts and prophecies and committed to theocratic rule" to have backed Bush in this go-round.

Take that! No, you take that! (cue: slap)

Well now. Please note that almost nothing in the current torrent of debate about the Rod Dreher column has anything to do with the purpose of the original blog article, except that this is a demonstration of how hard this kind of bitter debate is to cover in a newspaper.
