Well, you've happened upon the blog of Vic McCracken, Assistant Professor of Theology and Ethics at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, TX. I created this blog as a forum for my own reflections on things religious, ethical, and political. I've resisted for some time the temptation to blog, a practice that always seemed to me vain and pretentious. Nevertheless, over the last week my occasional status comments on facebook (updating of which may well be even more vain and pretentious than blogging) elicited numerous comments from friends, not all of them complementary. I don't plan to abandon the satirical one-liners that have evoked such flurried responses and defenses, but I finally decided that a blog might be a better place to extend my remarks should the need ever arise. I hope you enjoy reading!
