» Musing on (A)Theology

Though there’s more to it than this, I think a quality summation of the article is expressed in this phrase:

The atheisms of most committed, principled atheists are often not more than mirror images—inversions—of the theisms they negate.

Or as the subtitle suggests, “Atheists reject too little.”

I can’t say I fully support his conclusion, but then, I can’t say I fully support anything. Just thought his process is worth a read for those who consider themselves on any side of (a)theology.

Discuss.

Just a small snapshot of my brief business trip to Vancouver, BC, where I had a couple hours to stroll around and see the sights of the downtown district.

» New Walkmen Album Streaming on NPR

My good friend Steven, who recently moved to California, and whom I miss to the greatest extent a heterosexual man-crush will allow, had this link up on Gchat today. I highly suggest you give it a listen.

» The Anxiety Associated with Fancy Dinners

Haven’t read Slate in a while, but this piece covered well an all-too-familiar topic: I love my friends, but I passionately fear dining in large groups.

Given his history with the team this seems like a brilliant idea…

Charlotte? Really?

I just posted this comment over at Decatur Metro, but I thought it was worth sharing my thoughts here in case anyone reads this or gets my Twitter feed:

So, I’m a huge nerd and subscribe to the UGA Press’ RSS feed (I have a grad degree from there and want to make sure I catch any of my former professors’ and colleagues books), but just today (!) I read that said Press has published a book about how Charlotte is a “globally ascendant” city.

Correct me if I’m wrong, because I haven’t spent much time there, but is this true? And, if I’m not mistaken, that has to be a MAJOR typo that Charlotte is the 5th biggest metro area in the U.S. (after the “more” jump on the link).

I know it’s chic to say that the sun has set on Atlanta and Charlotte is the new New South city du jour, but this seems a little out of hand. Thoughts?
