Narnia: “Narnia represents everything that is most hateful about religion,” says a writer for The Guardian. I take this as a good sign. If the producers have been true to the story it should be offensive!

Christmas Megachurches across the US have cancelled their Christmas Day services (presumably due primarily to a lack of interest). Are your church doors open on Christmas morning?

Du Jour: Paul at kerux noemata discusses our culture’s increasing ability and desire to weed out the unwanted in the womb.

Review: I’m quite sure this is not what a producer wants to hear about his film: “It was so uncomfortable to watch this film, I felt like I was desperately holding back a bout of extreme diarrhea while having dinner with my girlfriend’s folks for the first time.”
