CHRISTIANITY vs. SOCIOLOGY: Round 2

Sociology has always been difficult for me at Mizzou. I still haven't figured out really (in 3 years) whether Christianity and Sociology can get along with each other. Here are a couple disjointed thoughts about the whole thing:

• Sociology might be the most developed athiest social metanarratve that culture has given us.
• It's not so much that there is no objective Truth in sociology, it is more that: if humans are the truth (or meaning) makers -- as they are without God -- and humans can only be subjective, then "truth" is subjective.
• Where are the Christian Sociologists??
• If sociology speaks honestly about reality, than it's God's reality that they're talking about and that should be studied.

In other news, some stuff that came up in class that I had to look up:

• ephemera: something with a short life span, temporary
• parsimony: something that is so simple and most likely to be correct.
• Larry Craig: Idaho Senator who tried to pick up an undercover cop in the Twin Cities airport. "Craig then extended his fingers into Karsnia's stall. Karsnia placed his police identification by the floor where Craig could see it and pointed to the exit. " (slate.com - Larry Craig Bust)
• eristic: someone who enjoys arguing for argument's sake
