Shawn of The Chris­t­ian Exam­ple gives anoth­er con­cise reply to the KJV-only­ism teach­ings of BibleBasis.org; I par­tic­u­lar­ly enjoyed this response as it uses a pop­u­lar KJV-only­ism tac­tic against itself: KJV-only­ists often cite verse upon verse from mod­ern ver­sions which seem to dimin­ish or oth­er­wise obscure the fact that Jesus Christ is God. Shawn quotes a […]

2,000+ clear­ance price changes in the toy depart­ment today, most like­ly in Wal-marts nation­wide… If you know of any­one look­ing to buy toys ear­ly for Christ­mas or for birth­days or what­ev­er, get ’em while they’re there. // So hop­ing that I can unload most of this mer­chan­dise before the depart­ment reset in two weeks!

Chris­tians are flock­ing in Bosnia to a tree which is now home to, as some describe it, a “freak of nature”–a sup­posed image of Jesus which appeared in the mark­ings left from when a branch was cut off. 1) Not only are such “nat­ur­al icons” nev­er found in Scrip­ture, we are also nev­er told what […]

There seems to be no lack of Oprah fans with­in the Chris­t­ian church; I won­der if any of those fans would be sur­prised to learn of Oprah’s beliefs which under­mine one of the foun­da­tion­al truths of the Bible: “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto […]

A few weeks ago I heard the promis­ing the­o­ry that Bounce brand fab­ric soft­en­er sheets do a won­der­ful job with repelling mos­qui­toes and oth­er insect pests. Turns out it’s, well, bogus. It does, how­ev­er, have some handy uses for odor control. Error hap­pened.

In my excur­sions across the web today, I hap­pened upont his quote on a blog: Or, for that mat­ter, where does it say “Thou shalt not fall in love with oth­er boys”? Oh, that’s right, it does­n’t. So why do con­ser­v­a­tive Chris­t­ian groups and par­ents think they have the right to force a young boy into […]

Yep, that was the front page head­line on today’s local paper… “Pres­i­dent Makes Choice.” So, did he like choose eggs for break­fast? Did he pick pol­ka dot­ted socks with striped pants? Did he decide to get up on the left side of the bed? And yes, I real­ize the arti­cle was like­ly refer­ring to the Supreme […]

After a brief email con­ver­sa­tion with Pas­tor Collins, I vis­it­ed Con­nersville Bap­tist Tem­ple. More than any­thing else, it was­n’t what I was used to. And yet, I loved it, and I hope that my enthu­si­asm remains after vis­it­ing a few more times.  Error hap­pened.

I remem­ber a con­ver­sa­tion with a friend a few months ago. The sub­ject was that of spir­i­tu­al war­fare, against the pow­ers, prin­ci­pal­i­ties, rulers of the dark­ness of this world… And we each held two quite dif­fer­ent viewpoints.  Error hap­pened.

Looks like its time for anoth­er jour­ney through the “ani­mals have feel­ings because they have a spir­it, not because they have a soul (which they lack)” lands again… It is an incred­i­bly easy area of the­ol­o­gy to grasp, yet high­ly intel­li­gent athi­ests, well-mean­ing Chris­tians, and most oth­er peo­ple just seem to mess it up reg­u­lar­ly… […]
