Actually THIS is what I have been building..
What I have been up to..
Does Christianity have an academic hearsay problem?
The other night at our church bible study, the speaker made a point that I have heard many times before. It is a very compelling point, that really seems to be one of these “Checkmate” kind of “eureka” slam dunk proofs for Christ being obviously the messiah, so long as you believe the academic analysis.

Till we get this right, we will get everything else wrong.
The Anti-Thesis of today’s America can be found in the 10th commandment “Thou shall not covet”. Coveting is the cornerstone of modern capitalism.

Update — The quote appears [...]

Another example of what happens when we preach darwinism but fail to heed it.

Magic memory trick I pulled on myself today.
Somebody lifted my Debit card and placed a bunch of unauthorized charges on it. I of course cancelled the card and the bank is sending me a new one. Today I opened the mail and recieved a new PIN for the yet unrecieved Debit card. I looked at it for a millisecond or ten and [...]
