I’m not sharing this because of the topic or the author’s point of view. Instead, he made a fascinating observation: “How much free speech do we have? It depends on the medium. Maybe the sequence from less to more censored is: 1. Conversation. 2. Email and other private writing. 3. Blog post. 4. Poorly-written book. 5. Article in minor magazine. 6. Well-written book. 7. Article in prestigious magazine. 8. Textbook. From one step to the next (e.g., from conversation to email), views become less diverse.” I am not sure I buy the middle points of his continuum (although maybe he means by “well-written book” something more like “controversial book written by someone otherwise culturally respectable”).

I have often been mystified at the way Christianity is portrayed in the media. It’s almost as though those who write the scripts/report the news/craft the essays don’t actually know any serious Christians.
