Blech.

While making a quick trip to Technorati, I was astonished to see a pastor that I used to know listed as one of the top hits of the day. As I followed the story, I was absolutely amazed to see how easily a whole bunch of people are distracted. It is all so very very sad and makes me feel kind of sick to my stomach.  You couldn't get those kind of hits over religious people discussing widows and orphans. Darfur. New Orleans. Vancouver. Baghdad. It just doesn't happen. Those discussions fade into oblivion. Not nearly as important as bruised egos and cheesy videos. All this writing and energy into something so stupid. If this is what is important now I am so glad to have walked away. Pathetic seems like a good word to use when describing attention-seeking and contrived* things like this. So does bullshit. May God forgive our tiny hearts and minds.
