For this week's online essay, go read Zeal Without Knowledge, the classic Nibley essay. This is also my weekend schmooze post, specially designed for people who have nothing better to do over the weekend than cruise a near-empty Bloggernacle, leaving long, aimless comments. Short and insightful comments are welcome too, but I know it's tough to think that hard on the weekend. My favorite line from the essay: "We [Mormons] think it more commendable to get up at 5 AM to write a bad book than to get up at nine o'clock to write a good one--that is pure zeal that tends to breed a race of insufferable, self-righteous prigs and barren minds." Wow. Imagine the flak I'd get if I tried to say that!
