Father Edward T. Oakes has written an awesome piece on the First Things blog, Atheism and Violence. It is a long hard read, but very worthwhile. This addresses a number of posts I’ve made, most recently in The Chickens are Coming Home to Roost, and should, I think address Allen’s point in his comment on… Continue reading Atheism and Violence

What DO We Believe?
…most Christians do not understand what they believe, why they believe it, and why it matters. How can a Christianity that is not understood be practiced? Unity in Diversity Chuck Colson, no matter how you may feel about him and his past, has made an excellent point here. This goes directly toward the heart of… Continue reading What DO We Believe?
The Chickens Are Coming Home to Roost
A bunch of drunk teenagers vandalized a site once inhabited by the American poet Robert Frost. In A Violation of Both Law and the Spirit, Dan Barry seems offended that these, for lack of a better word, punks didn’t show respect to history or elders. These punks are a direct result of a bunch of… Continue reading The Chickens Are Coming Home to Roost

Choose: Red, White, and Blue OR Red Versus Blue
I freely acknowledge that for a certain branch of the family, I am the red sheep (not the black sheep) of the family. I also suspect that my faith in Jesus Christ plays a greater roll in my life than the lives of others in my family (this is neither red nor blue). That being… Continue reading Choose: Red, White, and Blue OR Red Versus Blue

However, in 800 Dollar Gold in Plain English ( archived copy ), Jerry Bowyer adds a little more to the discussion. His primary point is that the theories being pushed in support of… Continue reading The Whole Money Thing
The Dollar is Falling! The Dollar is Falling!
In Me and Ron Paul, I knocked some of the historical basis for the assault on the Federal Banking System. While I still believe that a central system does need to exist, Thomas Breton’s article, Chickens Are Returning to the Roost, may cause me to modify my perspective somewhat. While I still believe that basing… Continue reading The Dollar is Falling! The Dollar is Falling!

That being said, there is something to be said about self-imposed homogeneity, especially in business…failure. I don’t want to see organizations forced to accept… Continue reading Will Racism Return?
The Quiet (some say silenced) Side of Anthopogenic Climate Change
KLTV had an interesting segment on one of their news shows recently about anthropogenic global warming. I wish I could embed it in this post, but they make it rather difficult, so here is the link. Hat Tip to: NewsBusters.org
The Information Superhighway? Bah, Humbug!
It is SO much MORE! Michael Wesch of Kansas State University created a little video, Information R/evolution, that is spreading through out the web. The phrase “information superhighway” should be tossed out, for as Mr. Wesch points out, the information is not, and must not be, so constrained. hattip to: Duncan Riley @ TechCrunch/span> Plus,… Continue reading The Information Superhighway?
