Comments: Joe Carter takes on the position of Ingrid (of the “Holier-Than-Thou Slice of Laodicea”) on the proper dress for church.
Memorable Quotes:

It’s always amusing when people take their preferred cultural norms and translate that into, “Thus saith the Lord.” I don’t know Ingrid but from the photo on her website, she doesn’t appear to dress like an Amish milkmaid. So I can imagine that any 16th century Puritan who saw the way she dresses would chastise her just as harshly for clothing herself “like a harlot.” Of course she would defend herself by telling the dour Puritan that she shouldn’t be judged by his time bound, anachronistic standard of appropriate attire. She would claim that she should be bound by the norms of her own culture, which just happens to be the secular, pagan ideal of “appropriateness” for white, middle-class women. [emphasis his]

Comments: Bob is named the editor of Next Wave, resulting in a post on Slice where he learns of his actual eternal destination – in the first posted response! (Ask anyone on Slice, and they’ll tell you where you’re going – why even wait for God?). He mentions his surprise at this in a summary update.

Memorable Quotes:

I’m just gobsmacked at the discussion over on Slice. 46+ comments later on a little throw-away article about me being named editor of Next Wave. These people continue to embody the Dilbertian ethic of “You may commence misunderstanding me and attacking that misunderstanding now!”
