Hey, maybe you had something better to do the day my interview on NPR’s On Point was broadcast back in June. Well, good news for you: It’ll be rebroadcast on a day nobody has anything going on, which is to say Christmas Day, from 10 to 11 a.m. EST. Chuck the turkey in the oven, liquor up grandpa and set in for a rousing discussion between me, host Tom Ashbrook and Randall Balmer, which included an answer that I gacked so badly I felt the need to blog about it. Mostly, though, it went fine. Ho, ho, ho.

Update: Thanks to Tony for noticing that I originally scheduled the interview to run for 13 hours!

These parodies of the Mac vs. PC ads, featuring a schlubby, cool “Christ Follower” in the former role and a straitlaced, dorky “Christian” in the latter, aren’t as awful as they sound on paper. (I’m partial to No. 3, which tackles Christian rock.) Still, I can’t imagine them changing anyone’s mind–they seem more geared toward reinforcing “cool” Christians’ feelings of superiority toward their matching-belt-and-shoes brethren (come to think of it, Mac users–of which I’m one–are an amazingly apt comparison, smugness-wise).
