Radically Rethinking
21st August 2009, 04:13 PM
I thought I might introduce everyone to something I try to check every 3 or so days, a blog called "Studies in Crap." (http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/studies_in_crap/) Alan Scherstuhl scours flea markets and bookstore bargain bins to find all kinds of amusing old junk which he then reviews on the blog.
I'm putting this here because a lot of the stuff he finds is religious:
The most recent entry, a fundamentalist guide to a biblical, low-pleasure marriage, "But If Thou Marry." (http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2009/08/sexual_satisfac.php)
A steaming pile of fundie from the late '80s, Power Living (http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2009/02/studies_in_crap_2.php).
A science book for Christian schools (http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2009/05/studies_in_crap_17.php) published by Bob Jones University.
Some advice for Christian teens (http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2009/03/studies_in_crap_12.php) from 1970.
An authentic piece of 1980's Satanic Panic, Like Lambs To The Slaughter (http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2009/02/studies_in_crap_4.php).
And of course, The Beauty of Sexual Love (http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2008/12/from_the_crap_a_4.php) and How To Be Happy Though Married (http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2008/11/from_the_crap_a_1.php), books of advice for married couples written by none other than "Left Behind" author Tim LaHaye.
