After my work is done I'm going to start a blog about Christianity.
My blog about Christianity will be somewhat different from the typical Christian blog (if such a thing exists, and my good friends seem convinced that it does) in that it will not feature any reflections on how to be a better Christian or how Christianity helped me through my day when I was convinced everything was going to fall apart at the seams.
My Christian blog will not contain any reflections on how the coming of a Jewish boy named Joshua, two thousand and ten years ago, and his excruciatingly brutal torture and death at the hands of a democratically elected governor slightly more liberal than the one in Virginia today only one thousand, nine hundred and eighty eight years ago inspired me to let somebody into my lane in traffic this morning.
It won't feature any inspirations about how Joshua's brilliant arguments for minimalism in theology, or for theology's rightful place as a vehicle toward ethics, which have since radically changed the way in which all religions judge themselves and each other, encouraged me to argue with people I don't like or am different from.
It won't have any absurd revelations of unprovable, empty truisms to live your life by, as though the Bible weren't enough.
My blog about Christianity won't even really mention religion at all.
It will just be about how beautiful your women are, how intelligent and teachable your children, and how much I love your traditional music and food.
