Read this

Wednesday I read a paper that made me laugh, smile, chortle, and think that perhaps it's time that economists stop pretending they can analyze religion without accounting for the supernatural. That leaves me with a significant question however - how can I provide additional depth to the work being done on the Economics of Religion by drawing God and the supernatural into the picture? Here's the paper - it's not long and really isn't as sacrilegious as it seems at first. And here's a good website for some background on what economists have just started doing with religion in the last couple years. Warning about that second website - it is substantially more complex and "economic".

Another one of these kooky 60 degree and sunny November days here in Virginia.... Yesterday I drove nearly all the way to the southern edge of the state while making a run for my part-time job. At least I didn't have to drive all the way to our branch office in Raleigh NC.
