Game of Thrones, Geekdom and Marginalization as (Political) Power

Great discussion of the politics of victim hood and the power of ressentiment in contemporary society--touches on geekdom, gay marriage, polygamy, and atheism. The discussion is between a Christian and an atheist and both have good things to say. Enjoy.

Spectrum Review Part 4: The Difficult Paradox of Interfaith Relations

This week is our last discussion about the Spectrum Conference.  In it, we talk about the last set of presentations: Ryan Bell's discussion of the limitations of interfaith work (which turns into a complex analysis of the value of defending a particular (form of) community without undermining the very basis of its existence), and a panel discussion of lessons learned in interfaith work.  The discussion ranges across a number of topics including pacifism, community values, openness and respect for difference.

Enjoy!
