There is a great story over on ABC News about LonelyGirl15. She was a young girl struggling with her parents, her boyfriend, and the things that young women struggle over and she was video-blogging everything. I remember seeing some of the posts because it was creating some buzz on the internet. The truth came out [...]
After many years as a Windows user I have switched over to Mac. My MacBook Pro showed up this morning and I have been busy getting it setup. I must admit that I am a bit baffled by some of the things that were second nature to me under Windows. All in all, this is [...]
YAAA (Yet Another Article on Atheism) has now shown up on the cover of Time. As I have been following this trend, I thought I should make mention of it. I will give this article credit for something not emphasized in the Wired article from last week. This time, the author makes the case that [...]
A very interesting story appeared this past week about a bundle of letters that had been sent to a pastor for prayer. It’s not often that we get to see what others are praying for – our most important and deepest held prayers are usually not stated to others. This article is worth reading.
I posted below that Ted Haggard has fallen… well, I just watched the clip from CNN (no link available – you will have to find it yourself) in which he flatly denied having a homosexual affair. If I have to eat crow, I certainly will… he is pretty much rejecting in the claim, and evidently, [...]
Ted Haggard has apparently fallen to sin. I must admit I am not surprised. One of the problems with contemporary evangelicalism is what I call the “Rock Star Pastor” phenomenon. These large mega-churches provide a platform that is a never-ending source of influence and money. Few people do well when given the kinds of power [...]
The more I have reflected on the “New Atheism” article, the more I have realized just how bankrupt atheism is right now. Let me explain using some lecture notes from a class I took a few years back on postmodernism. At the beginning of the 1900′s there was much optimism about man. Evolution had taken [...]
Here is an interesting link regarding the encroachment of environmentalist movements on the rights of people to see their lifestyles enhanced through capitalism. I am not at all opposed to environmental regulation at some level (who is?) but if this film lives up to its billing, it will show their true colors. What concerns me [...]
As the “war against terror” rages on, the quiet quest to spread the gospel continues as well. Unfortunately, martyrdom is sometimes the price. You can read about it in this story (click here).
The latest issue of Wired came to my mail box today – after, of course, I had read most of the content online. The cover is a piece advocating “The New Atheism.” Is it new? No, of course not. It’s the same atheism of yesteryear. The difference is that atheists are being a bit more [...]
