This woman says some of the things that a man just can’t say, like how men have been deprived of their reproductive rights, and how two parents really are better than just a mother. [WARNING: profanity] I laughed out loud. I’ve been accused of misogyny before on this site, and this link won’t […]

Top eleven philosophy quotes from Neatorama.
William of Ockham is number two, with: “Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily.” Where it should be.
Augustine of Hippo should be number four, because he said “cogito, ergo sum” first.
Worth a look.
Madness!!!

Madness!

I used to delete my spam folder every so often after a quick survey to see if anything I wanted got through, or to see if there were any really good deals on male enhancement, or to see if I could refinance at less than prime, or to see if anyone from the third world […]

“Religious people in general are so discriminatory against other people, and that really disturbs me. My idea of religion is we all love and respect. We all sin, but we still have common decency and respect for other people. So right now I’m struggling with my idea of what religion is.”

WHY is Wal-Mart supporting homosexual activism?
On August 21, 2006, the “National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce” announced a “partnership” with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
This means . . .

Wal-Mart is now a “corporate member” of the “National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.”
A Wal-Mart vice president will now serve as an advisor to the “National Gay […]

Because knowing is half the battle . . .

New stem cell proceedure does not harm embryo, but the embryo gets thrown away anyway.  Who wants to raise a kid missing a stem cell?
 
Among former embryos, the happiest people are old, married, church-going, evangelical, rich, college-educated, retired, laid-back, male, conservative, white, suburban, Republican, healthy, sunbelt-living, parents. Is anyone surprised?  Do young, poor, black, urban, […]

Forbes is reporting that men who want to be happy (not every man, apparently) should steer clear of and not marry career women.  In a successful marraige, women should cook the bacon, not bring it home.
 Divorse makes one really unhappy (duh!), and staying single is about as good as a bad marraige, although a good marraige […]

I don’t care what the critics say, I am a M. Night Shyamalan fan.  What I like about Shyamalan’s work is that he tells stories – good ones, that hold my interest and say something interesting.
Like The Village, this is not really a horror movie.  Shyamalan noted in an NPR interview that his movies are […]

 . . . they first make mad. Oui, et les dieux ont soif.
Iran, it seems, has begun its war with Israel. Enter world energy crisis and minor recession. Market uncertainty.
The Persians have been playing chess much longer than the Europeans.  They are better at it.  Unlike chess, however, real armies are of different sizes and […]

We need more good, high-profile examples of quality fathering like Tony Dungy, coach of the Indianapolis Colts.Dungy is an inspiring example of faith and fathering:
Dungy, a devout Christian, believes no matter what happens that all things work together for good for those who love the Lord. We’re talking about a man who views it as […]

Today I link to my old (hee, hee) theology professor as he reveals more of his personal side to teach us something about the Kingdom.
Five years ago I didn’t know that the greatest joys of my life were already here, and yet not quite here. I didn’t know that the Lord was using the suffering […]
