I’ve been taken to task in the past for characterizing my worldview as “conservative” despite the following scribbles:

* “opposing most conservatives on Terry Schiavo’s situation”:http://www.kyleandkelly.com/scribbles/politics_and_current_events/abducting_life/
* “criticizing a constitutional amendment on marriage”:http://www.kyleandkelly.com/scribbles/christianity/amendments_marriage_and_the_church/
* “positing that God is not a Republican”:http://www.kyleandkelly.com/scribbles/christianity/politics_and_religion/

Whether or not I’ve crossed the line to a liberal worldview is an issue for another post, but in short: I would posit that I’m critical of Christian conservative orthodoxy (if we can have neo-conservatives, we can have orthodox conservatives) because I care about the Christian viewpoint. I wouldn’t critique if I didn’t care. I want to make sure that what we bring to the world is well-thought out and truly consistent with God’s Word.

Why post this now? I don’t want to see Christian conservatives become radical zealots, and I think it’s a “very real and timely danger”:http://news.google.com/?ncl=http://olympics.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx%3Ftype%3DtopNews%26storyID%3D2005-08-23T172944Z_01_SCH362917_RTRIDST_0_NEWS-VENEZUELA-ROBERTSON-DC.XML&hl=en. What the heck was Robertson thinking? Am I being out of line in calling his statements “over the line”? Any conservatives out there who want to attempt a defense?

“A Million Ways”:http://boss.streamos.com/download/xc37dr2/okgo/amillionways/amillionways_v750.mov is the funniest low-budget music video I’ve seen since the Fat Boy Slim one (can’t remember the song) that had the fictitious community dance group.

It’s official–the Johnson and Adams families are addicted to “Katamari Damacy”:http://www.namco.com/games/katamari_damacy/. Only the Japanese could come up with such a quirky yet addictive game.
