I saw this clip of a catholic priest named Father Barron on Reddit the other day. Reddit wasn't too excited about what he had to say (of course), but I was really impressed with the guy. He's very eloquently criticizing this new Harris/Dawkins-led Atheist "movement" that is all the fad right now. At the end he uses CS Lewis' argument (which he unfortunately doesn't site) that people seem to have a hard-wired need for God (or a god) which perhaps wouldn't be there unless there was God. Ie. we get thirsty-- there is water. We get hungry-- there is food. We get horny-- there is sex. It not an argument that is going to convert anyone from their disbelief, but it is an interesting observation.
Tonight I started listening to some of his other stuff and I really like him. It's very odd (and refreshing) to see a catholic priest reviewing "No Country For Old Men" and saying "I'm a big fan of the Coen brothers." If there were more guys like him out there I might actually be able to find a church that doesn't make me want to join up with a Muslim Jihad.

No, blogs were 2003. Facebook was 2007. Pretty soon it's just going to be you and a bunch of 60 year olds talking about how pimp their new Buick Lacrosse is and taking quizzes to figure out who has the dopest denture cleaning tips. Say hi to my mom for me. She thinks Facebook is really cool, too.
