I used to pop off an answer just like that, but I’ve realized that not everyone agrees upon the definition of any of those terms. The best way to describe my views quotes God, “I AM.” People will pigeonhole me enough as it is. I don’t want to confuse generalizations and stereotypes with facts.

Look At All the Depressed People
If you look around at the stories that are there, you will see an increase in depression, an increase in suicide. As technology integrates further into our lives, I wonder how much more will happen. As much as the mainstream media and those of the ideoloigical left and extreme right like to malign religion, I… Continue reading Look At All the Depressed People
The Lincoln Legacy — Revisited
…the Lincoln most Americans know is the one who preserved the Union, freed the slaves and founded the Republican Party. A more thorough and dispassionate reading of history, however, reveals that these were silver linings within a dark cloud of constitutional abuse.
New Terminology: Technological Enervation
I’ve decided that I needed to come up with a new phrase to describe the issues I see with technology and its effect upon people, and by default, society. I’m not sure how to even define it, yet. I’ve gone back and tagged/categorized older articles, in addition to newer articles as they come up. In… Continue reading New Terminology: Technological Enervation
An end to the stem cell debate?
This caught my eye. People such as myself have been framed as opponents of stem cell research, which is false. My opposition has been to embryonic stem cell research that KILLS (i.e., destroys embryos). However, with some recent clarification, it apparently is possible to do embryonic stem cell research without killing the embryo. I would… Continue reading An end to the stem cell debate?
Post-Christ Church, Part II
I think that the post entitled “Post-Christ Church” should have been more correctly “The Post-Savior Church”. However, the Church of England may soon earn the title of the Post-Christ Church, due to their Hindu priest. The part that should, but doesn’t, utterly astound me is that Mr. Hart believes that he is still entitled to… Continue reading Post-Christ Church, Part II
The Post-Christ Church
The installation of Katharine Jefferts Schori indicates that the Episcopal Church, as a physical and organizational representation of Jesus Christ, is dead. Her installation as presiding bishop shows the continual decline of the mainstream churches. In one of her post-installation interviews (2 Nov 2006 Miami Herald) she says, ”It feels a bit un-Anglican to insist… Continue reading The Post-Christ Church
Technology, Humanity, Control (Maybe the Luddites are right)
A survey sponsored by MTV provides some very interesting tidbits regarding the endangered psyche of a technology-savy generation. Even though I found the comment on religion interesting, it just seemed to be tossed in there, and didn’t add to the main thrust of the story. On top of that, an article in Christianity Today discusses… Continue reading Technology, Humanity, Control (Maybe the Luddites are right)
An Old Voice for a New Generation
An article in Christianity Today discusses Wendell Berry’s view of Christianity and the environment.
Congress ‘07-’08
Well, I’ve sat on my keyboard (not literally) long enough since my previous post on the Election. As some may infer from my collection of posts, I’m not all that thrilled with the election results. However, I won’t say that I’m surprised.
