Compare and Contrast
Religion December 18th. 2007, 7:58pmCatholic theologian John Haught is interviewed at Salon. The interview becomes a launchpoint for…well, for something, over at Pandagon. Starting from an outright mis-statement of the very headline of the article she links (one unchallenged in 230+ comments - no echo chamber here!), Marcotte fills four or five screens with an assortment of misreadings, evasions, and the usual childish insults. Haught’s interview is worth reading for its insights and explorations of how scientific advances such as Darwinism challenge and extend our theological understanding. Marcotte’s post…well, the beauty of the Internet in a free country is that anyone can write whatever they want to write. Let’s all appreciate that freedom and try not to think about what people are getting up to with it.

I feel the same way bout Amanda’s echo chamber. You might enjoy Dennis The Peasant, and his Amanda Marcotte Sentence of the Week series
