My Favorite Blog

Slactivist has become my favorite blog. I should admit here that I'm not really much of a blog reader. Generally, the only time I see someone's blog is when I've been drawn to it because of somebody on Facebook spreading a posting.

That's actually how I discovered this blog. The posting I was referred to was this one: http://slacktivist.typepad.com/slacktivist/2009/09/same-to-you-buddy.html

I agreed so much with his sentiments that I started reading his other entries and I found a delightfully literate, thoughtful, and agreeable new friend in just about everything he wrote. I don't know the author, Fred Clark, but I hope that if we ever meet, that we become friends. I know I'd like to be his friend, but doubt he'd find me interesting enough for him to feel the same way.

One great thing about this guy's blog is his ongoing review / critique / ridicule of Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins' Left Behind series of books. He is currently going through the "Tribulation Force" book and it is hilarious! Fred does an incredible job of addressing the Theology expressed in those books as well as the incredibly bad writing of those books.

Check it out from the beginning of the Tribulation Force!
