Playboy Theology
28 September 2004Chris Walton of Philocrites points us to religion reporter Cathleen Falsani's Chicago Sun-Times interview with Hugh Hefner. Falsani gets the obvious over with first: yes, Hefner considers himself "blessed," and is a grateful, grateful man. Her exploration of the playboy's "decidedly unconventional" spirituality ("'I think sex is there for procreation and a good deal more.'") goes well beyond look-who's-thinking-about-God irony, and beyond the interesting sketch of Hefner's religious history, to a nuanced consideration of what he means by spirituality: a life-long "'quest for the world where the words to the song are true."
