The Blingdom of God
Ok, so I have no idea what’s going on over here, but since they keep mentioning the Baha’i Faith, I figure it’s my job to point it out to you.
Basically, there’s a site called *sigh* The Blingdom of God (I know, I know…) And they have all these posts up about, ahem, religious bling.
…
Let me just say that last part again: religious bling. This is a blog about religious bling.
But you know, it’s really not as bad as it sounds. And they do actually have some interesting posts up about artistic expression of faith and the appropriate level of blingage for the faithful.
So maybe before you head over here you should read this.

dear ryan,
and oh how i misses ya. we watched the pilgrimage video again last night, but it was the first time with the manns (and i’m sure mist crept into the room, but i was the only one to rain). i sure hope i get to go on pilgrimage while in the Holy Land, and separately it made me so zestful for a return and wonderment, reverence.
andre brought this blingage thing to my attention. whatever the purpose, i wince at the name.
love from leila

I know the guy with the tattoo… he’s a Baha’i from the Ottawa area. Does that give me extra bling points?
