Laura at Pursuing Holiness notes one and presents a course of action. I think bloggers often move past fair use, but news outlets and going way too far the other way. (0)

New Meaning to Language Police

This story gives new meaning to the idea of language or grammar police. (HT: The Agitator) (0)

Christianity by Force or Manipulation
(2010/8/23)
There is very little that offends me more than the idea of manipulating people into Christian events or trying to convert them by force. (0)

What Makes a Plumber Real
(2010/7/20)
Michele Bachmann says she hopes that the newly formed Tea Party Caucus will provide a voice in congress for “real housewives, real farmers, real businessmen, real plumbers.” (Source.) I’m wondering how “real” farmers, businessmen, and plumbers differ from the rest … (1)

Unright Christian Blogs

Sitemeter includes my three personal blogs, this one, Bible Study, and Threads

Also Richard Colling

PZ Myers (yes, he who was expelled from Expelled!)* Pim van Meurs, has posted a couple of interesting cases on The Panda’s Thumb, and I want to make sure one name is also known: Dr. Richard Colling. I wrote about his situation in a number of posts, and also blogged through his book [...]

Expelled! and the Atheism-Evolution Connection

There is something I want to clarify from my previous post on the topic. Nobody has mentioned this to me, but it is a common enough error that I think I need to say something explicit.

I object both to the comparison of scientists supporting the theory of evolution to Nazis and the [...]

Upgraded to WordPress 2.5

I have upgraded the software for this blog to WordPress 2.5. I believe with the way I did it nobody should have noticed more than a momentary (less that 30 second) glitch. If there were any other problems I apologize.

Please let me know if any new difficulties emerge.

Context for Obama and Dr. Jeremiah Wright

I commented before on how we’re getting snippets out of context. Peter Kirk has done some looking regarding the God damn America comment. From another angle, my wife thinks Obama needs to say “enough!” and get on with the campaign.

Matheson on Howard van Till

He posted some good notes on a talk by van Till here. I have great respect for van Till as well, though I have only encountered him through reading.

Suppressed and Talking about it Everywhere

After reading this review of Expelled!, (HT: The Panda’s Thumb) based only on the 10 minute trailer, I decided to go view the various trailers for myself.

This is a movie that I have very little interest in seeing. Let me explain that. It’s not that I don’t want to hear about ID, [...]

Prayer or Medicine

I was going to write about his, but Laura has already done a good job. Like my dad the doctor taught me, there’s no need to make it either/or; it’s both/and.

No More -MORE-

OK, the votes are in and I see some people who don’t like -MORE- tags, and nobody who really, really wants them, so I’m going to go with my inclinations and not use them at all. I used them so rarely, and so inconsistently that it was probably not going to work anyhow.

Church and Health Care: Remembering My Parents

Mark, at Pseudo-Polymath has written a post, The Christian Response to Healthcare and End of Life, which has what I consider the greatest quality for blog posts: It deserves to be discussed. My immediate problem is that there are simply too many things to discuss, and I’m a long winded person in any [...]
