Here, there and everywhere

I haven't been up to blogging lately primarily because I find myself stuck in a number of things right now at work and in my studies so I never really had that much free time to write.

I recently tumbled upon a copy of Harry Emerson Fosdick's classic sermon “Shall the Fundamentalists Win?” which cost him his post at New York’s First Presbyterian Church, because his views then represented those of an influential Protestant minority. He writes: "There are many opinions in the field of modern controversy concerning which I am not sure whether they are right or wrong, but there is one thing I am sure of: courtesy and kindliness and tolerance and humility and fairness are right. Opinions may be mistaken; love never is." I say Amen to that! Read more >>>

As the American rock band Incubus, face protest about their upcoming Philippines show courtesy of a text message is circulating throughout the Philippines that asks local Philippine residents to pray against Incubus, pointing to the band's name which people associate a "with male demon believed to lie on sleeping persons." In response, Incubus singer Brandon Boyd enlighted folks with the band name's origins saying: "And we were 15 and we had to think of a name quickly because we got to play at a party in someone's backyard." This goes to show two things: 1) Religious fanatics are stupid and will react in opposition to anything without considering facts 2) Incubus aren't really as brilliantly profound as many among us would like to believe.
