Omar Garcia is a personal friend and a Christian intellectual. Media would cast the Christian in the mold of bias (notice the pun?!) as expressed in this book by Jeff Sharlet:
The Family
I recommend Jeff's book if for no other reason than the vignette about testosterone-impaired Christian men wearing "masturbands" so that they will not.... errr.... touch themselves. Personal vignettes of narrow scope are the warts on scholarship. Jeff-i-poo, puts a lot of warts out there. Now I am not completely discrediting his work. I merely wish to point out that I had never heard of a "masturband" until reading the selection. Last time I checked, most of us were concerned about loving Jesus. That, my friends, is the Gospel.
But back to the topic at hand:
Portage Points
Enjoy!
