i have posted my “paper” on Rollins’s book at Church and Postmodern Culture.
It can be downloaded here.
Well,tomorrow is my inaugural post at Church and Postmodern Culture. It is part 2 of the four part discussion around Pete Rollins’s How (Not) to Speak of God and is my attempt at locate Pete in the greater context of what has been called weak theology and a/theology. My paper links Pete with Jack Caputo (author of The Weakness of God) and Mark C. Taylor (author of Erring). Look for it tomorrow morning.

This WTF goes out to all the snobbish customers in the world (or at least America). When somebody is using a cheaper rental computer, it is rude to ask them to switch with you because you’re going to be there longer. Period. It doesn’t matter if they’re paying for it or not, work there or not, or have five hands growing out of their waist or not. It is rude and selfish to ask someone to do something that benefits you just because it will benefit you. If there is a reason other than “it helps me,” ask away. If there isn’t, then either wait your turn or take another computer, even if it winds up being 10 cents more per minute. If you’re really going to spend another ten hours on those computers (at $120 a pop), you might want to consider (amazing here) buying a laptop. Has consumer America really become that selfish that it now lacks knowledge of simple etiquette. And no, saying “thank you” afterward doesn’t make it better.
