We'll then exercise our feelings of superiority with the standards we've established by the new commandments of our religious views ("Thou Shalt Read Everything!"). And sometimes we're even willing to risk our lives for this neo-religious practice.
As a pastor who loves books, conferences, podcasts, blogs, and any other form of communication, I've seen and participated in this Portlandia-ish behavior. Have you read Keller's new post? Carson's new book? Seen Zach's new blog post? Heard Chandler's new sermon?
We're not righteous because of our manufactured standards. In fact, this manufacturing doesn't work. "You can never read enough!" warns the Preacher in Ecclesiastes.
So enjoy the multitude of gifts that the grace of God through the communication revolution has provided. But find your worth from the Giver.
