I’ve decided to end the “This Week in Fundamentalism” series; it was turning into a sort-of-weekly regurgitation of news that was old (by internet standards) by the time I got around to mentioning it. That, and having to mentally sort through that much concentrated stupidity and/or just plain evil every week was something I got tired of rather quickly. (I defy anyone to read about, for instance, the Czech cultist who allowed her children to be tortured on camera, without experiencing an unpleasant rise in blood pressure…)
Instead I’ll stick to commenting on individual stories as they come along, and hopefully the lack of something I consider a weekly obligation won’t send me back to my previous habit of posting less than once a month.
