Link-o-rama

I've been a bit behind on reading links that I've been sent or stumbled across. I'd intended to say something more about some of these, but for the time being a list will have to suffice.

• The Church of the Masses ponders the morality of Battlestar Galactica.
  
• Sci Phi is a newly-launched journal on philosophy in SF. From the look of it, it hopes to be for soft SF what Analog is for hard SF, which is certainly a worthy goal. [Hat tip: Robert J. Sawyer.]
  
• Out of the Cocoon explores science fiction and the emerging church. Bonus: apparently The Gospel According to Science Fiction is stocked in Christian bookstores in the UK.
  
• There's not terribly much there yet, but the new site Scifi and God should soon be host to some interesting discussions.
  
• The New York Times reports on Ajinbayo Akinsiku's manga scripture adaptation The Manga Bible: From Genesis to Revelation, and The Revealer reminds them that this isn't exactly an original concept.
  
• Comics Should Be Good reviews Jim Munroe and Salgood Sam's "post-rapture graphic novel" Therefore Repent! I couldn't help but think of Southland Tales while reading this review; it seems to take a very similar left-wing approach to a traditionally right-wing interpretation of apocalyptic literature.
  
• Books Under the Bridge has a four-part post on religion in SF. Full disclosure: I haven't had time to read these posts yet (it's been a busy month), and I think I want to write something longer about them. But for the time being, I'm posting them sight unseen for your edification and enlightenment. Part One. Part Two. Part Three. Part Four.

Thanks for the links! I hope you enjoy our series, The Future of Religion, when you get around to reading it. There's a lot of thoughtful commentary on the blog, and Mister Troll and I are always happy to see responses that further the conversation.

I look forward to reading whatever you have to write on the subject.
