On the reading of Scripture.
A suggested Olympic logo.

For the 15th of the Fourth month.
Two questions on science and religion.
Via Obsidian Wings, a left leaning blog of some repute, this quote caught my eye, “For instance, if evangelical Christians stop hating liberals, then it’s less likely that their cultural resentments will bleed over into economic issues.” … Uhm … do you or anyone you know in the evangelical community “hate liberals”? I don’t. I don’t know anyone who does. What is he talking about?
Life imitates fiction, in this case De Niro in Taxi Driver? Are you lookin’ at me?
Tolkein on race.

Blogging from Iran.
If the blog landscape is an echo chamber, why is it that you have to listen so carefully to hear echos of things like this?
I wonder if a title as the Inconvenient Myth was considered to controversial, but the film the Great Global Warming Swindle is discussed here. Mr Gore certainly has profited nicely.

Something to oppose. Question is how? How forcefully?
I think the problem is more one of point of view, we should never celebrate the sufferings of others and indeed should work to diminish it, but perhaps should not shy away from it for oneself, i.e., ascetic labors are a good thing for the soul.
Sunday’s gospel reading … and … a trenchant observation.
Hmm. That’s good.
Modern technology … a tour.

On war and cinema, a reflection.
Church, Faith and Love and hardness of heart in the parking lot at the mega-church.
Fitna. I haven’t seen it. How it relates to freedom of speech in the UK. And one notes, the reaction against it is more from the West acting in outrage on behalf of, instead of outrage from the Muslim world. Is that true? If so, what does that say about those who react?
Slavery, worldwide.
Contra the Left.
Signs of the age, one and two. Is outrage!

Marine. Three Wars. Elderly. Don’t attempt to mug. Duh.
The arrogance of the liberal left on display, uhm, I travel quite a bit and I find the TSA for the most part respectful and polite. What they aren’t is wealthy highly educated. The remark I refer to is, “What I do know is that I fly quite frequently. I don’t consider the majority of TSA screeners to be well-trained or respectful. Sorry if any of you work for the TSA, but I consider many of them to be fat, lazy benefactors of one of the most useless “feel good” bureaucracies ever created. When I hear stories like this, it just confirms it for me.” Remarks like that say more about Mr D than the TSA.
Secular iconography. Which also brings up a question, this year was the biggest global temperature shift on record (I think) to the colder. How many years does it have to shift colder or stay cold for the global warming thing to die out? Do you have to wait until the “experts” say it’s ok to say so?
Start’n young. Pretty too.
Stuff White People Like has Christian competition.
