Mazel tov David!

I wanted to bring anyone’s attention on a new blog project undertaken by Slate’s David Plotz. Plotz, according to his “mission statement” so to speak, is to “find out what happens when an ignorant person actually reads the book on which his religion is based.”

Accordingly, he will spend the next few weeks reading the Holy Scriptures and sharing his thoughts on his blog.

The genesis of this project (pun is intentional) can be read here.

He thus far has two entries:
1) Reading the First Few Chapters of the Bible
2) Abraham vs. God

I have a particular fondness for this project since I conducted the same experiment after graduating high school (sans blog technology, sadly).

David has also generously solicited comments or thoughts at plotzd@slate.com.
