I feel like I may have covered bits of this here and there, but I couldn’t find it after a cursory check through my blog. Fanaticism is fanaticism, whether it’s religious or technological it follows the same path. Witness anyone who has just become an evangelical Christian (and it probably extends to other religions) as [...]

John Waters was on NPR to talk about his new book, Role Models. In the course of talking to Terry, he mentioned dealing with people with Alzheimer’s. He asked a friend of his, a nurse who works with Alzheimer’s patients – “People forget who their family is, what they did that day or even five minutes [...]

Welcome to my new series where I wonder if some concepts and technologies are now obsolete thanks to our new paradigms and technologies. Today’s topic – evangelism. Short term readers of my blog will think I only write about Linux and technology. Long term readers will know that I’m a Christian. I was brought up [...]

If you take the Biblical story of Adam and Eve literally (as opposed to figuratively or allegorically) there is one possible explanation for the world as science sees it that I’ve never, ever heard anyone propose. This shocks me as it seems to be a convenient answer that fits with the science. The Bible tells [...]

This joke’s been around the nets for a while, but here’s a new and novel presentation.

(I’m writing this on the 21 around midnight, but I have a lot of posts coming up so I time-shifted this to the 24th) If you’ve read my blog long enough, you know that I believe in events transpiring when they should. In other words, God places things in our lives at the right time. [...]

In “Things that Shouldn’t Make Me Happy“, Scott Adams hits on one of the most poignant things I’ve read in a while. For a humorist, he has been making some amazing points recently. If you think about it, wars are generally fought because of a false sense of certainty. Usually some leader thinks he is [...]

I’m reading through Leviticus right now and boy is it tough going. The entire Biblical narrative has come to a complete halt as rule after seemingly arbitrary rule is spelled out. And the killer is the repitition. Instead of lumping twenty offenses together and saying, for all of these the punishment is X, it lists [...]

This news is a few weeks old, but I’m behind on my “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me” podcasts. However, a congressman said that we have to be really careful with dealing with Iraq and Iran (meaning bomb the stuffing out of them) or else our money may one day read, “In Mohammad We Trust.” Hey [...]

Recently, someone created Conservipedia, saying that Wikipedia has a liberal bias. Its proof? Idiotic things like the fact that some of the articles are spelled in the Queen’s English (honour, colour) despite most users being American. This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Another proof it gives is not idiotic, just misguided – [...]

Apparently showing a trailer for a movie about Christ at a Christmas festival is too much for Chicago officials. Although Fox was prepared to pay $12 000 to the festival if the trailer for “The Nativity Story” would be shown throughout the festival. Sorry, said the Political Correctness Police, we can’t appear to be endorsing [...]
