The God Virus, by Darrel Ray, Ed. D., takes a different approach. Religion is explained as analogous to viruses, viral infection, and parasites. Using accessible language and familiar ideas, Ray gives us powerful conceptual language for thinking of religion as a self-serving “life form” that replicates, spreads through the population, and influences the behavior of its hosts in self-serving ways.

Stories from the Bible — Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark, etc. — have become part of Western popular culture. As often happens when a tale is retold, the stories we remember aren’t quite what the Bible says. A new website, geared toward children (and parents), tackles popular Bible stories with critical thinking and discussion questions.
The Twilight series of books (and movies) by Stephanie Meyer has gained a cult-like following among young girls and housewives the world over. Many Christians think it is a bad influence; in reality, it prepares girls and young women for the ideal Christian — or Mormon — marriage.
James Paris, who last week founded ChristianChirp.com, seems to have as his twin goals using it to drive traffic to those who may buy his $159 get-rich-quick-online-for-Christians scheme, and providing himself a platform for endless whining about being automatically suspended from Twitter for link-spamming.
