Yesterday after we had our new pastor over for an old-fashioned pot roast lunch, complete with my wife’s to-die-for homemade chocolate pie, I found myself weeping while I did the dishes.

    Mark, thanks for the suggestion. I wasn't aware of it and have promptly opened a new tab with an expectant mind. Cool!

    I'd be surprised if Steve Eley was a Christian. I've often encountered his quote in the mouth of atheists:

Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them."

    I believe it's from alt.atheism on usenet.

    econ grad stud, interesting quote. I think that is from one of the introductions to his podcast, but I'm not sure.

    Whether he's a Christian or not, many of the stories he features at Escape Pod are an inspiration to me. They help me think about my faith--and often because they are good stories and so they express universal truths and common grace.
