A curious thing: Buffy as Dogma. Not criticising the faith but criticising the way people who profess to be members of it treat the faith.
And finally, definitive proof that people are driven by fads. Trust the church to jump on the bandwagon just as post-modernism is on the decline and latch onto a theory that is directly contrary to its very nature. On the other hand, when is Stuckism or some other neo-platonic artist theory gonna get a look in? Or is the idea that art could be a spiritual experience not something the church is willing to deal with? Perhaps it would prefer to see itself connected with flawed thinking and empty rhetoric.
Honestly, "post-modern culture"? "Deconstructing" the faith? Derrida would be turning over in his grave. As would Christ. You know... if he were still in it.
Not me. I hereby proclaim myself the first Stucko-christian!
(A quick side question: everyone understand the concept of tongue-in-cheek, right?)

Stuckist Christianity is certainly interesting, but what'd be -really- curious to see would be Neitzean Christianity. ;p
