I sat down and started rewatching the second half of The Age of the Earth by Kent Hovind. I had my pen and pad out to take notes so that I could write up the session and post it here. But then I thought, “Why?” For starters, my own opinion of Hovind has changed a [...]

George Frodsham has posted more questions on his Help with God blog. This time, he asks, “Why is God bad at marketing?” Reading some of your answers, one thing I have discovered about religion (and perhaps Christianity in particular) is that it is very personal. This means that everyone has different opinions and interpretations of [...]

Check out my new renter Matt Jones’ Random Acts of Verbiage. You’ll have to click on the thumbnail in the right sidebar. Matt is a Christian, and though we disagree about Creation Science, his blog is a must read.

This article by Russell Shaw on the Huffington Post really makes me angry. He asks the question, “What if another terror attack just before this fall’s elections could save many thousand-times the lives lost?” Then he goes on to say that he “isn’t proud” of hypothesizing about this: I am not proud of myself for [...]

Christian Carnival 136 is up at Parableman. Check it out. I won’t do any highlights this week because I’m exhausted and my allergies have flared up. Enjoy. Tags: Christian Carnival

I received an email today from George Frodsham of http://helpwithgod.blogspot.com that was filled with questions about the Christian faith. I will do my best to answer them here. George: Your questions are good questions. I admire you for seeking the answers to these questions. I am no biblical scholar, I am only a follower of [...]

Reposted from December 1, 2005: One thing I’ve learned recently is that most people have such a poor view of Christianity. The world is bent to think [...]

I figured out last night why I’ve been struggling with my own depravity versus God’s grace. Even though I know this isn’t true, my brain has somehow convinced me that there’s a limit to God’s grace and I’ve reached it. The verse that comes to mind whenever I cognitively think about this is Hebrews 10:26-27: [...]

I’ve reared my ugly head again. If you read my previous post, you know what I’m talking about. I allowed my anger to speak rather than my love for the Lord. I fear I’ve done more harm than good. The exchange went on a bit further than what I posted below, and I’m downright ashamed [...]

As you know, I’ve been participating in discussions about creation/evolution. Some of the discussion happened here, but a lot of it is happening over at the Martian Anthropologist. I’ve been involved in a discussion over there with a woman named Naomi. Naomi hates Christians. She hates anything having to do with Christians and is very [...]
