One Stock That Needs To Drop
October 6th, 2008 by iMonk
If you are one of those people who monitor this blog for material to get me in trouble, go get a legal pad and two good pens.
Back in the Golden Age of this blog, I wrote quite a bit about my own Christian experience. Those “confessional” pieces made at least half of this blog’s reputation and most of its good friends.
Reality ensued, and about fifty posts disappeared permanently, with another 20 going into retirement. I broke the news that the authentic voice of Michael Spencer- broken, questioning, wondering, doubting, ranting- was going to have to be substantially muted.
I’ve not been happy with this turn of events, particularly on weekends like the one just completed. My mind and heart are full of things worth saying to those of you who come back here looking to know you’re not alone. But I’ll have to disappoint, at least for now.
But not entirely.
Stocks are dropping. Have you noticed?
I’ll tell you a stock whose value really needs to go down. While we’re devaluing and dumping the worthless, I’d like to add something to the pile.
The stock of evangelicalism is way over-valued. It’s worth less than half of what we’re paying for it, because about half of evangelical religion is worthless.
