With the end of the semester, the beginning of the holiday season, and life itself colliding as they so often do at this time of year, I lack the time to post a more typical blog entry today. Instead, I am linking to this fascinating article (thanks to my grad-school friend James Darlack for posting it originally and bringing it to my attention). The article is titled “Screw Jesus, What Would *I* Do?” It’s a fascinating take regarding recent research on how humans assume that their particular religious, political, or other viewpoints are indeed shared by their deity of choice. It’s well worth the short read, in my opinion.
My favorite line in this article? “God created man in his own image and man, being a gentleman, returned the favor.”
Here’s the article, and have a great Monday!
