SF response to Westboro Church
Someone told me that they were in town. They were protesting at the Twitter HQ. Glad to see the Bay Area respond with an “in kind” protest. Apparently they were going to protest in front of the theater where Fiddler on the Roof was being performed. Sometimes I wish I could get inside their twisted theology, but I’d rather not go there. Laughing Squid posted the details:
Westboro Baptist Church showed up to protest in front of Twitter’s San Francisco office on Thursday, but found themselves severely outnumbered by a crowd of absurdist pranksters, including guest blogger EDW Lynch above.
Happiness is something bigger
On Twitter: (quoting *the* Daniel Dennett)
“The secret of happiness: find something more important than you are and dedicate your life to it.” Dan Dennett
Twitter and religion
I’ve just begun using Twitter, almost every day. Politicians, educators, artists, business people, and many others use Twitter for networking and for learning all sorts of new stuff. But religious groups are using it, too. I recently came across “tweet-a-thons”, I suppose you’d call them. Congregations are tweeting the Bible (in Germany) or the Passion (in New York).
A year or so ago, David Poltz blogged his way through the Bible. The posts are now out in book form.
