BLOGOSPHERE HEAVYWEIGHTS

A Vestal Virgin, seen in the Roman Forum Now that the world is one big blog, God may become a blogger, too. That's not a certainty, of course, we're merely speculating. But at the very least He's about to get his own first-ever God Blog Convention two weeks from now in southern California.

The God Blog Convention runs Oct. 13-15 at Biola University in La Mirada, Ca.GodBlogCon, as it's being called, will feature keynote speaker Hugh Hewitt and other religionaires, evangelicals, pastors, biblical scholars, and -- though we're not sure of this -- possibly a handful of pre-Christian Vestal Virigins, like the old-fashioned one pictured above, just to add a chorus line.

Since the gathering is "designed to mobilize the Christian blogging community," no Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Taoists, Hindus, Zen Budhhists, Confucians, Zoroastrians, Shintos, Copts, Surrealists, Animists, Shamanists, Sikhs, Jains, Babis, Baha'is, Rastafarians, Neo-Paganists, Agnostics, Atheists, or Scientologists are expected. In any case, attendance will be limited to 300 lucky folks eager to find out what the God bloggers have in mind.
