• Is The Bible Sufficient?

  
  Kingdom Seeking — Authority: 100
  There is no shortage of Bibles for sale in our country.  Go to any bookstore, Christian or not, or online and you will find numerous selections to choose from.  Some of these choices are helpful, since pocket size Bibles and a larger study-size Bible are used for different purposes.  However, I am increasingly ...

• Food, Wrapped in Tinfoil

  
  The Dr Codfish Chronicles — Authority: 116
  Let’s see, I put out the ‘thankful’ post, and the ‘joy of giving’ post. It only follows that if you have a real sense of thankfulness then you would be inclined to give gifts (or something) to objectify that sense of thankfulness. You know, a little thank you gift.And then I waded into the fetid soup that is ...

• “Religious Iconography”?

  
  WHATEVER! — Authority: 116
  Apparently that is the (non-exclusive) term used to describe body art that contains some ostensibly faith-based message.  I have written previously  about the subject of body art and basically I come down on the side of it being an ill-advised practice.  But, that said, I concede that is it a purely ...

• Lets live like animals

  
  Giraffe Pen — Authority: 130
  Lets live like animals? I mean why not, according to psychologists and scientists. Why be faithful to one person? After all, our biologys geared towards screwing as many people as we want and leaving a train wreck in your wake. Despite the fact that theres a high spiritual, emotional, and psychological cost that you ...

  WHATEVER! — Authority: 116
  This morning, I read through some childish bantering between what was apparently a Texas Longhorn fan and a Texas Aggie fan.  The discussion was over which team possessed the better quarterback.  The site was facebook.  The discussion lead no where, basically.  The rivalry between these two schools is so ...

• Are You Thankful?

  
  The Dr Codfish Chronicles — Authority: 116
  Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. I know times are tough, things are not what they could be, and even the holiday itself has a checkered past for some.

  The Dr Codfish Chronicles — Authority: 116
  Im home, celebrating pre-Thankgving with flu-like symptoms. This cant be Flu because weve both had the seasonal flu shot, Ive had H1N1 (had to muscle a couple kids and a pregnant lady out of the line to get it!) so we should be bullet proof, right? Whatever, its not the end of the ride just a few bonus miles as they ...

• How’s that atheism working for ya’ now?

  
  WHATEVER! — Authority: 116
  This LINK  will take you to a rather long, but none the less interesting article about Madalyn Murray-O’Hair, the infamous atheist, who was successful in arguing for the removal of prayer from public schools.  I admit my interest in the article was in part because I had the dubious distinction of being in the ...

  A post on Arts and Letters Daily altered me to some great articles about the media and US military’s silly and dishonest response to the Fort Hood massacre . “After events like Fort Hood, why do public officials have to sound like college diversity deans? As though Americans will be hanging Muslims from lamp ...

• Music We Only Think We Know

  
  Inside the Classics — Authority: 123
  Hip-hop might just beat out classical music as the most misunderstood and unfairly maligned musical genre in existence today. When I tell other classical musicians that Im a hip-hop fan, the reaction tends to range from blank stares to outright revulsion. Only once or twice have I ever gotten a positive reaction of ...
