I don't necessarily agree with him on the whole stem cell issue, but I have to say that Kristof seems to be getting religion after all.Ĭhristian Music, Digital Downloads, and Piracy Even though I really don't consider Jim Wallis to be an example of a conservative evangelical, it is true that even those of us who were considered religious right just a few years ago are starting to find our voice on topics that have been dominated by liberal secularists. And yes, he does seem to find a bunch of things to praise evangelicals for. So I figured there had to be a catch, and clicked on over. Joel Osteen doesn't even have that distinction yet. But nope, it was him - the only individual who has an entire category devoted to him on this blog. "Is there some other guy named Nicholas Kristof?" I wondered. "Nicholas Kristof shows evangelicals the love." When I read this one in my RSS reader, I couldn't believe it.

The Internet is the ultimate democracy - everyone gets a voice, no matter what their opinion. MySpace isn't the place to start a Crusade, or a jihad, or whatever. Let them have as many groups as they want. And experience has shown me that they are probably a bit more vocal than the majority of people who claim to be Christians - but that's another post for another day. So when a bunch of atheists and agnostics protest, should all the Christian groups be taken down? It seems there are at least 35,000 atheists and agnostics on MySpace, not an insignificant number. There was, apparently, a group of Christians who opposed the site and made MySpace take it down. But if the people who ran the group, and the members of the group, want the group to be reinstated, it should happen. Not only has the group been deleted, MySpace isn't even talking about why! I can understand that the group was hacked, and I can see that MySpace wants to control hacked accounts. I disagree with them, and they disagree with me, and we just wouldn't work together well on most things. OK, I shouldn't have to say it up front, but I'm not a member of the Atheists and Agnostics group on MySpace. Stupidity Online: MySpace and the Atheists Posted by: Chaussures Converse at J04:24 AM (KR11c) They are simple scribes recounting the day's events. That sentiment is gone from modern newspapers - journalists are called to be impartial reporters with no agenda when they report the news. But that wasn't the point for them - they had opinions and they wanted to be heard. Many didn't make much profit, and some lost money. Newspapers were founded to make points, to further agendas, to support causes. Long lasting just because of it's inoffensiveness, Campbell's effort was also excruciatingly dull, and typically included reports of each shipment that came into Boston Harbor. Unfortunately, there was no freedom of the press back then.īut if Harris was the Drudge of the early colonial period, then John Campbell and his Boston News Letter was the cat blog. Harris is the forefather of many bloggers who seek to increase readership (and subscribers) by being as outlandish as possible (coughDrudgecough). And the first edition was also the last - Harris' writing was so inflammatory that the colonial government in Boston shut him down. Four pages long, poor formatting, little space between stories - no headlines. In the beginning, you have Benjamin Harris and his Publick Occurrences both Foreign and Domestic (1690). The first thing that struck me in reading this book is how similar the beginnings of American journalism and the beginnings of the blogosphere actually are.
