Happy (belated) Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Seminary students: ever wondered how MLK put together his sermons? Well wonder no more — apparently he made up a lot of them on the fly. Yeah, he was that good.
MLK was, of course, a Christian. But, as the Houston Chronicle points out, deeply impacted by Gandhi (a Hindu) and Jainism.
But let’s get to the question that’s really on all of your minds: what would Martin Luther King Jr. make of Twitter? A lot, apparently.
Speaking of Twitter and MLK, Justin Bieber apparently can quote MLK:
That’s not really all that relevant. I just thought I’d point it out. It’s not like I follow Justin Bieber’s tweets or anything…
Let’s just move on.
In other news, a few basketball players in South Carolina were brutally beaten for “Tebowing.”
Revolutions are good for music (it’s a turntable reference! Get it?!): Aslan Media has a series on at the sometimes-religious music that gave voice to last year’s Egyptian revolution.
Finally, your Video of the Day is a little hi-resolution tour of Angkor Wat, a Hindu/Buddhist temple in Cambodia that also happens to be the largest religious building in the world.
