Rest Well, God-o-Meter

Tuesday November 18, 2008

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.

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.

Well, not to put to fine a point on it, it was one of the sites more, shall we say, unusual, features.

Gone, to be seen again in 4 years?
