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.

I'd be surprised if Steve Eley was a Christian. I've often encountered his quote in the mouth of atheists:
"Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. 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.

Hopper, so what did you think?

Cree, you have no idea. I had another piece last night. I'm obviously biased about my wife's cooking, but it really is the best piece of chocolate pie I've ever had in my life. And it's not even as good as her coconut cream pie.

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

And as to your comment on my site (thanks!): I hear ya. May we be a generation that does more than just gawk at the misfortunes of our fellow man. May we confront our own lethargies to carry the burdens of others.
