Let me explain Wednesday, March 4, 2009, at 7:01 AM ET why, in part by telling how reading the whole Bible has changed me. Click here to read a slide-show essay about postcards. When I was reading Judges one day, I came to a complicated digression about a civil war between two groups of Israelites, the . Gileadites and the Ephraimites. According to the story, the Gileadites hold the Jordan River, and whenever anyone comes to . cross, the guards ask them to say the password, shibboleth. The Ephraimites, for some unexplained reason, can't pronounce the . sh in shibboleth and say "sibboleth" instead. When an Ephraimite fails the speech exam, the Gileadites "would seize him and slay him." I've read the word shibboleth a hundred . times, written it a few, and probably even said it myself, but I had never understood it until then. It was a tiny but thrilling moment when my world came alive, when a word that had just been a word suddenly meant something to me. blogging the bible And something like that happened to me five, 10, 50 times a day Good Book when I was Bible-reading.

I'm brokenhearted about God. Just as an exercise, I thought for a few minutes about the cultural After reading about the genocides, the plagues, the murders, the markers in Daniel, a late, short, and not hugely important book. mass enslavements, the ruthless vengeance for minor sins (or What footprints has it left on our world? First, Daniel is thrown none at all), and all that smiting—every bit of it directly in the "lions' den" and King Belshazzar sees "the writing on the performed, authorized, or approved by God—I can only wall." These are two metaphors we can't live without. The "fiery conclude that the God of the Hebrew Bible, if He existed, was furnace" that Daniel's friends are tossed into is the inspiration for awful, cruel, and capricious. He gives us moments of beauty— the Fiery Furnaces, a band I listen to. The king rolls a stone in such sublime beauty and grace!—but taken as a whole, He is no front of the lions' den, sealing in a holy man who won't stay God I want to obey and no God I can love. sealed—foreshadowing the stone rolled in front of the tomb of Jesus.

I'm missing all the redemption. If I want to find the grace wanting"—which is what the writing on the wall told and forgiveness and wonder, I have to read and believe in the Belshazzar. story of Jesus Christ, which explains and redeems all. But that doesn't work for me. I'm a Jew. I don't, and can't, believe that While reading the Bible, I often felt as if I had finally lifted a Christ died for my sins. And even if he did, I still don't think that veil from my eyes. I learned that I hadn't known the true nature would wash away God's crimes in the Old Testament.

    Last Updated: July 21 www.comedychannel.com.au AUGUST 2009 HIGHLIGHTS 1. Summer Heights High 2. Everybody Hates Chris (Series 1) 3. The Best Of British Summer Heights High SUBSCRIPTION TV PREMIERE Thursdays at 8.30pm from August 13 Following the internationally acclaimed hit series WE CAN BE HEROES about the search for Australian on the Year, the award-winning high-school mockumentary SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH spotlights the incisive observation and piercing comedy of Chris Lilley, who both wrote the series and portrays all three main characters. Filmed in a documentary style, with non-actors playing supporting characters Chris Lilley reveals what really happens in an average Australian high school as epitomised by its three main protagonists: Mr G - “Two words, deal with it” - The Megalomaniac "Director of Performing Arts" Mr G who, despite relentless opposition, cancels the traditional school musical so that he can write his own original "Arena Spectacular". Ja'mie King - “I don’t want to be a bitch, but…” - A self-absorbed, privileged teenager who is taking part in a swap scheme to bridge the divide between state and private schools, but finds she is way out of her comfort zone. Jonah Takalua - “Puck you Miss” - A contemptuous Tongan break-dancer and graffitist who was previously expelled for setting fire to lockers and defacing the principal's car. Hilarious, absurd and frequently shocking, SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH reveals a world where the seemingly huge traumas of friendship, staff politics, schoolwork and relationships are the fabric of life in the school universe. SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH is followed at 9pm by Australian sketch comedy at it’s finest with BIG BITE – see the early days of Chris Lilley’s character Mr G (also look out for Deal Or No Deal’s Andrew O’Keefe).

    BATTLESTAR GALACTICA AND PHILOSOPHY The Blackwell Philosophy and PopCulture Series Series editor William Irwin A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and a healthy help- ing of popular culture clears the cobwebs from Kant. Philosophy has had a public relations problem for a few centuries now. This series aims to change that, showing that philosophy is relevant to your life—and not just for answering the big questions like “To be or not to be?” but for answering the little questions: “To watch or not to watch South Park?” Thinking deeply about TV, movies, and music doesn’t make you a “complete idiot.” In fact it might make you a philosopher, someone who believes the unexamined life is not worth living and the unexamined cartoon is not worth watching.

I’m Down, I said, There’s A Place, Don’t Pass Me By, and thought Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Why Don’t We Do It In The Road? Abbey Road, on Blue Jay Way? I Will, I said, knowing I’d be Fixing A Hole (actually many holes) with Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. For No One gave me The Word or would Tell Me Why, or Ask Me Why, I got No Reply. I Should Have Known Better. In the beginning, it was Misery and A Hard Day’s Night, and I had Yer Blues. Bankers said Don’t Bother Me for Money (That’s What I Want) to pay the Taxman. Not A Second Time or Any Time At All! I wanted to Cry Baby Cry, Because, they said, Honey Don’t, Slow Down, You Can’t Do That, and don’t Get Back to us! But Tomorrow Never Knows. I said Think For Yourself, Act Naturally and We Can Work It Out if we just Come Together. I’ve Got a Feeling about the Revolution and I just can’t Let It Be.
