It's disappointing to see how long I've left my "new" blog alone, given the pomp and circumstance I showered on its creation. Life makes it hard to write, but that's not a valid excuse anymore. Things won't get any easier.
Back in November, when I threw myself into reading everything I could about religion, I quickly got distracted by economics, politics, current events, and other interests. I should've seen that coming. I've been reading more material by people I (usually) disagree with but (always) respect: Reihan Salam, the folks at Modeled Behavior, and Conor Friedersdorf. I do this because I like reading opinions that counter to my own. But, at some level, I force myself to do this to feel like I'm confronting people I disagree with me without actually engaging them. The mental back-and-forth is enough, until it's not. My hiatus was as much about my fear of being wrong as it was about learning more.
I will overcome my fear of being wrong--and this blog will become successful--when I post regularly and avoid constricting myself too much. Accordingly, you'll see a steady stream of new content about a variety of topics.
And so, we go onward and upward! Don't forget that you can poke and prod me on Twitter as well as the comment section of each post.
