In honor of the beginning of the Reformation of the Church, here are some of Luther’s Theses on Indulgences.
1. When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, “Repent” (Mt 4:17), he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.
6. The pope cannot remit any guilt, except by [...]

What will they think of next?  The atheists have discovered radio.  (Shhh, nobody tell them about that new thing called tele-vision.)

Peace?

Posted in Culture, Global Warming, Media, News, Politics, tagged on 12 October 2007 | 7 Comments »

This has got to be a joke. What does this have to do with peace? Maybe I misunderstand the basis of the award, but I always thought that the name had something to do with why it was given. I could be wrong, but trumped up environmental scare tactics don’t seem to [...]

Ann Coulter: Now an Anti-Semite?

Posted in Christianity, Culture, Media, News, tagged on 11 October 2007 | 6 Comments »

Not only is Ann Coulter a bigoted, homophobic, anorexic idiot, she is also an anti-Semite. This because she said that Christians are perfected Jews. She says some theologically weird stuff in that interview, but the fact that Christians might view themselves as “perfected Jews” is not so strange. I’m not sure that [...]

Presidential Impressions

Just a few impressions: I like Romney on everything, Giuliani on security, Brownback on family issues, Tancredo on immigration, Huckabee on a lot of stuff, and Ron Paul not at all. (First, he was almost hysterical; second, he has two first names.) [...]

I forgot two.
Iron and Wine, The Shepherd’s Dog.  Best one by them so far.  More instruments.  Same voice.

Purpose of appendix believed found
Five scientists not connected with the research said that the Duke theory makes sense and raises interesting questions.
The idea “seems by far the most likely” explanation for the function of the appendix, said Brandeis University biochemistry professor Douglas Theobald. “It makes evolutionary sense.”
Well. As long as we’ve [...]

Good Music

Posted in Music, tagged , , , , , on 3 October 2007 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve picked up a few albums in the last few months, and I think they’re worth listening to.
(In no particular order:)
Over the Rhine, Trumpet Child–not my favorite OtR by far, but there are some good songs, especially the title song. “If A Song Could Be President” is catchy, but it makes them sound like [...]
