  • In Answer to “Christians Dating a Non-Christian”

    This picture haahaeu4.jpg Effectively answers this: http://blog.valhalla.jara23.co.uk/~mrc/wordpress/?p=15 Here, MRC, the author of the blog tries to work out why some Christians get off with sites like this: http://www.fusion101.com/guide/dating_non_christians.htm Basically, working on one line, 2 Corinthians 6:14, they try to claim that you should not marry, or even, in this case, date a “pagan” (here taken…

  • The Skeptics Bible

    http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/abs/long.htm This is an interestig one. Admitedly I’ve only just started making my way through Genesis, but it does show what many people think about the Bible. Generically we (that is, Christians), are taught that mostly the New Testatment is the bit that we should follow. I really need to put some time aside and…

  • Memories are made of this.

    So here I Am, sat getting ready to head out. My music playing on my laptop, and suddenly it feels like goodbye. It feels like I really should learn to move on. I it feels that perhaps, just perhaps, that the final test has been passed, or failed…. or something. It’s been one of those…

  • Problem: java: xcb_xlib.c:82: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock’ failed.

    Just updated to fedora 8. It seemed like a good idea at the time. The biggest problem that I’ve found is with this Java error: java: xcb_xlib.c:82: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock’ failed. There are many fixes out there, some of which including sed’ing an .so file. That got me part of the way there, but didn’t…

  • God’s Gift.

    Found in Fortune: What we Are is God’s gift to us. What we Become is our gift to God.

  • YAQ

    Those who believe that they believe in God, but without passion in their hearts, without anguish in mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, without an element of despair even in their consolation, believe only in the God idea, not God Himself. – Miguel de Unamuno, Spanish philosopher and writer

  • Litestep Theme

    Yes, I have been a-theming. Basically, I went in search of a prettier windows desktop about a fortnight ago, and I found litestep. This is a funky replacement for the Explorer desktop which allows you to load some pretty themes. The problem was, none of them matched what I wanted to do, so I thought…

  • From a Founding Father

    I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and by men who are equally certain that they represent the divine will. I am sure that either the one or the other is mistaken in the belief, and perhaps in some respects, both. I hope it will not be irreverent of me to say…

  • And Plato Said:

    “We will be better and braver if we engage and inquire than if we indulge in the idle fancy that we already know — or that it is of no use seeking to know what we do not know.” — Plato

  • OBE’s And NDE’s – Place holder

    As physician Dr. Melvin Morse wrote, “Simply because religious experiences are brain-based does not automatically lessen or demean their spiritual significance. Indeed, the findings of neurological substrates to religious experiences can be argued to provide evidence for their objective reality” [source: Morse]. Morse, M.D., Melvin. “The Right Temporal Lobe and Associated Limbic Lobe Structures As…
