I’m sitting here waiting for my bread to rise (which, incedentally, is like watching water boil) and reading some miscellaneous stuff online. One of the blogs I was on linked to a videoclip of Richard Dawkins at a church in Colorado Springs chatting with the pastor. Part one of my problem is the apparent ignorance of the pastor and his arrogance (while accusing Dawkins of arrogance). Part two of my problem began when I checked out the website of the church in question. They had, in the “New and Exciting” column a link called the “Jerusalem Diet” and from there, you can send an email (anonymously of course) to your fat friends. Yikes! And this is from a church? Sometimes I wonder about the message we send out as Christians. I mean, come on. First of all, there are better ways to talk to your friends about being overweight. Secondly, I don’t think that a pastor of a church should be marketing a diet plan specifically for “fat friends.” I don’t know, it just strikes me as a little wrong and inappropriate. Maybe I was already biased against him after watching his interview with Richard Dawkins and all the internal shuddering I did during it. If you are going to be interviewed by a very outspoken atheist, at least try to come accross as slightly intelligent and well-read. I hope that it was just the editing that was done by Dawkins et al. that made him look bad.
