David blogged recently about the iPhone, examining what Christians should think of such a device. One observation: “…it has the potential to become a god. Lining up to buy the iPhone may just suggest the worship of materialism that is rampant in our country. It may suggest the reign of Mamon on our “Christian” continent. Beyond the foundational issue of idolatry is the issue of responsibility. How many people will fork over the hundreds of dollars required to buy this... Read more
South Park has had a consistently successful run ever since it’s debut in 1997. Created and written by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, who also do the majority of the voices for the show, it is aired on Comedy Central, a network known for edgy, line-crossing comedy programs that are often marked by intelligently satirical qualities. South Park is no different. While the show often tends toward easy humor such as excessive profanity and fart-jokes, it also has moments of skillful insight. Read more

It goes without saying that without Harry Potter there would be no show. What else would David have to bring up every single episode - relentlessly - without bringing up Rich's brilliant (Or misguided?) claim that Harry Potter was a Christ figure? Well, J. K.

These things don’t scare, so much as they shock. So what has become of us? Why do we crave... Read more

Click here to listen! When David told me he would be out of town last weekend, we both agreed that it was the perfect time to talk about sports. Though we are both college football fans (Me: Auburn/Florida/Louisville; David: Ohio State/Ohio State/Ohio State), we aren’t really all that knowledgeable about the subject. And yet, no other aspect of pop-culture evokes the sort of passion and devotion as sports, and more specifically American football. We decided our first-ever guest host needed... Read more
