As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth that shall be different from all the other kingdoms; it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it into pieces. Daniel 7:23 I was reading Daniel 7:19-27, and it struck me that the United States of America may… Continue reading Who is the Fourth Beast?

Thanks, But We Already Knew That…
Stephan Hawking spoke at Zellerbach Hall yesterday (original link from Slashdot), and announced his new theory: the universe came from nothing (there is a video—RealPlayer or equivalent needed). Dr. Hawking, with all due respect, that theory has been around for quite some time now. My biblical calendar is pretty useless, but I think its about… Continue reading Thanks, But We Already Knew That…
Pete Stark – Atheist
I’m sorry, but Pete Stark’s (D-CA) admission that he is an atheist doesn’t concern me as much as it seems to concern others. However, other bits in this announcement I find much more interesting.

The rental cello… an Israeli story
As Treppenwitz says, this is a story to be shared.
The Dark Side of Capitalism
Yesterday, Pope Benedict convicted those in charge of the media, saying: I appeal again to the leaders of the media industry to advise producers to safeguard the common good, to uphold the truth, to protect individual human dignity and promote respect for the needs of the family. What I find interesting is to whom he… Continue reading The Dark Side of Capitalism
