josh barkey: Why FIREPROOF is Immoral
http://www.joshbarkey.com/2009/07/why-is-immoral.html
Friday, July 17, 2009. Why FIREPROOF is Immoral. An old family friend recently wrote me regarding my previous rant about the movie "Fireproof", wanting me to know that some of her friends had watched it and had told her that it had some good points in it that had helped their marriages. She suggested that maybe I ought to just take it for what it is intended to be - an accessible sermon with a few good points. So why is it such an issue for me? The end result is that anybody not in "The Club" is turned o...

josh barkey: in which i un-ironically like something from the Christian subculture
http://www.joshbarkey.com/2015/07/in-which-i-un-ironically-like-something.html
Tuesday, July 14, 2015. In which i un-ironically like something from the Christian subculture. There are a lot of things I like to make fun of / gnash my teeth over in the Christian subculture —. Perhaps most notably the very existence of a Christian subculture, which carries with it a circled-wagons mentality that inevitably curb-stomps anyone who's really honest about their humanity. That thing, and you like it even though you know it's kind of cheesy and stupid. Wikipedia has this to offer. Which I us...

josh barkey: holy the diaper
http://www.joshbarkey.com/2015/08/holy-diaper.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. Yesterday I changed a diaper, but it wasn't until later in the evening that I realized I'd enjoyed it. As a thoroughly modern father, I've changed my share of diapers —. Even some explosively-filled ones —. But I think the day-to-dayness of all that removing and wiping and replacing kept me from ever realizing that I took pleasure in doing it. Not in the fecal matter or the ammonia-smell, but in the simple beauty of doing something for someone who is unable to do it for himself.

josh barkey: Dear Americans: Pepsico & Coca-Cola Think You're Stupid
http://www.joshbarkey.com/2011/05/dear-americans-pepsico-coca-cola-think.html
Thursday, May 19, 2011. Dear Americans: Pepsico and Coca-Cola Think You're Stupid. Last week I bought some Five-Alive, which in my (Canadian) experience is a delicious and vitamin-rich blend of five fruit juices. I loved Five-Alive in college and drank many a liter of Five-Alive Berry on tree-planting days off. I even had a recording of The Five Alive Song. Which I memorized and sang (loudly) as I slurped my Five-Alive from a striped-blue-bendy straw. Filtered Water, Two. High Fructose Corn Syrup, Three.
