The Lions are hungry!
At least that seems to be the idea here: I once heard of a debate between a Christian group and a Pagan group - it could have been a pretty un-constructive rant like event where one group tells the other group what's wrong with it and visa versa - everyone would have gone home with the same opinions that they came with - however this debate was different.By way of an exercise, the author goes on to solicit negative input about blogging. But I'm more interested with his analogy to Christians and Pagans. As a Pagan/Christian (or Christian/Pagan) I've got no lion in the modern fight. I think the "war" between Christians and Pagans is an irrelevant holdover from the second and third century Roman culture war which should never have started. Everyone lost. What I want to know isn't spelled out in the Christian-versus-Pagan analogy: what are bloggers supposed to be? The Christians? The Pagans? And who has the lions this time? Is it time to prey? Or pray? Now who said this blog was scary? posted by Eric on 05.05.05 at 06:32 PM

That would be an interesting exercise if you could pull it off with Conservatives and Liberals. It would never work of course ("What I hate about liberals is we're so damn nice! So damn fair and thoughtful!" "What I hate about conservatives is we're so darn...ummm"). But it would be nice if it did work. byrd · May 6, 2005 04:36 PM I think it would be a good reflection for everyone to do that about every major portion in our lives. Name (1) good thing, (1) bad thing, and (1) thing you can do to improve the bad thing. alchemist · May 9, 2005 08:59 PM |
