Here’s some interesting things I saw when looking up the exact 10 Commandments. I’m not going to say what I’m refering to, and urge you to read these passages for yourself. Go on, get your Bible. Don’t just believe what I say, look these up yourself: Exodus 20:4 Exodus 25:18 Deut. 4:16-18 Numbers 21:8 What [...]

Bibleggo
OK that’s a stupid blog title. =/ Anyway, man do I LOVE the Brick Testament! http://www.thebricktestament.com/ It’s certainly no replacement for reading the Bible yourself! But it’s a great way to visualize the absurdity and immorality appearant in the Bible. Some snippets from the Book of Judges recently came out: http://www.thebricktestament.com/judges/index.html Boy, I forgot just [...]
READ MORE »I’d Like an Espresso With a Side of Christ
A few weeks ago we tried another church: http://www.jamesriver.org/ James River Assembly’s Web site belies the actual facility. It’s a freakin’ city! There’s even a Starbucks (or a Starbucks knock-off) inside, a gift shop, two huge information centers, a daycare center with a flippin ball-pit, it’s multiple floored….it’s the closest thing to a Middle Ages [...]
READ MORE »Better Words Than Mine on Terri Schiavo
A good critical, medical, legal blog entry from someone a lot more cool-headed than I. http://www.rangelmd.com/2003/10/terri-schiavo-case.html
READ MORE »When, Where Will It End?
When the federal judge decides in favor of Terry Shiavo’s husband, which I pray to God he does, do you think it will end there? Florida law states that in cases like this, when there’s no explicit instructions from the patient, the spouse has the right to decide treatment or not. Them then closest living [...]
READ MORE »Right to Lie…in a Bed as a Zombie
George Bush signed legislation from the House written and geared at one indivudual person. http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/21/schiavo/index.html This case, issue, disgusts and angers me so much, on so many levels for so many reasons. Let’s start here: 10th Amendment, Bill of Rights, US Constitution: http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am10 “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor [...]

My brother sent me this Web board link: http://www.graffe.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29465 which contained a link to a news article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/03/08/high_school_zombie_threat/ which is about a high schooler in serious twubble for a perceived threat to his school. According to the highschooler, the threat is in the form of a fictionalized account of an unnamed school being attacked by [...]
READ MORE »Mario Brothers Made Me Do It!
60 Minutes had a report on whether the violence in Grand Theft Auto can cause someone to murder. I didn’t see the report, but this debate has raged for years in many other venues. The idea is that violent video games cause kids to be violent and potential murderers. Some go so far as to [...]

Leahy (they’re also Canadian, thechnically. With names like Siobheann Donohue, Angus, and Donnal, I think there’s some Celt in them. =) Their music is mostly traditional Celtic folk, and even though American blue-grass music comes heavily from Celtic folk music, you can’t really tell where blue-grass and Celtic begins and ends with them.) Their 1st [...]
READ MORE »Universism Illustrated
Here’s an image someone at the Universist.org chat board made up to illustrate how the different sects of Universism interrelate. http://universist.org/meeting/index.php?showtopic=2227 In John Armstrong’s words: Agnosticism: “I don’t know if there is a God. Humans can’t be certain of such spiritual matters.” Agnosticism borders Atheism, which is disbelief in any god. “Agnosto-Atheism” is the middle [...]
READ MORE »Hooray for March! �ireann go Br�ch!
Tabhair p�g dom, t�im �ireannach! Some bands from Ireland, for the liking: The Corrs Clannad Loreena McKennitt (OK, so she’s Canadian, but she’s of Gaelic decent and embraces Gaelic music in her own.) Cocteau Twins (They’re mostly Scotish, but I won’t hold that against them *g*) The Cranberries The Chieftains Huh. I just realized that’s [...]
READ MORE »“Theory” <> “Baseless Ideas”
A most excellent article by Edna DeVore: “Evolution: It’s Only a Theory, But One Worth Teaching” http://www.space.com/searchforlife/seti_devore_theory_050303.html She does a great job of explaining how popular culture has completely misunderstood the term “theory”, and why Evolution is misdescribed and misunderstood by people as being simply an possibility and a baseless idea. And another article of [...]

A possibly brand new object in space has appearantly been discovered: http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/space/03/03/space.burst.reut/index.html I wonder if this is that anomoly that a radio telescope observation team discovered a few months back and is now being confirmed. I love discovery! Delving into the unknown and finding new and exciting things about our universe.

A VERY good interview with Bill Maher. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4490632 I never watched “Politically Incorrect” very much, but I’ve been watching Bill Maher now and then here and there, and I have to say, I really really like what he has to say. That interview discusses his opinions on how absurd it is that the winners of [...]
READ MORE »Papieren, Bitte.
Auf English: “Papers, please.” Here’s an interesting story of a man arrested for not providing his ID to the S.A., er, I mean police. http://papersplease.org/hiibel/facts.html Now, if you view the video or read the transcript, one can see where it looked like Hiibel was goading a confrontation, but all he was doing was demanding as [...]

OK, so I was going to blog more regularly. Remember when I said that? It was only a couple of blogs ago…which translates to several days ago. =P Anyway. It would be terrible to live in a country in which you are subject to laws which you are not allowed to view, or even know [...]
