Rest Well, God-o-Meter

With the conclusion of the election, our beloved God-o-meter will be going on its traditional inter-election hibernation. As it does, we sadly also say goodbye to our God-o-Meter editor, Dan Gilgoff, who has been a great colleague, a brilliant editor for me, and a top-notch journalist.
Under Dan’s leadership, God-o-Meter won the prestigious Online News Assocation Award for Best Commentary Online. We wish Dan well and thank him profusely for his great work for Beliefnet during the campaign season.

Good Bye
Today is my last day at Beliefnet (which I co-founded in 1999). The swirling emotions: sadness, relief, love, humility, pride, anxiety. But mostly deep, deep gratitude. How many people get to come up with an idea and have rich people invest money to make it a reality? How many people get to create

Secularizing the Cross (Christian Activists: Be Careful What You Wish For)
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments this week, in Buono v. Salazar, about whether a white 6 1/2 foot cross can be displayed in a national park as a tribute to World War I soldiers. Though it's depicted as a classic clash of the secular and the religious, it actually illustrates why Christian act

With an average combox response of fewer than 4 replies per post, it was money well wasted. No, make that, “It was money, well, wasted.”
Not to mention the odious and odiferous, continuous enforced breaking of the American ‘promise’ that there shall be no religious test to holding public office.
Dan Gilgoff was an intellectual lightweight who never seemed to give much thought to that ‘promise’. In fact, with everry post, he seemed to insist that not only there ought to be such a religious test, it was pretty transparent WHICH religion politicl candidates ought to be. (Hint: it wan’t Muslim. Nor was it Hindu. Nor Buddhist. Nor Taoist. Nor Unitarian. Nor Sikh.
What an abhorrent blog. I’m glad it’s dead.
