A friend in California writes about the situation there for those who supported Prop 8: Things are pretty grim. On the ground pastors are worried, and for my Mormon friends it is very bad. No LDS person in their right...

From the post: "Now is the time for traditional Christians -- Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox -- to come to the aid of our Mormon friends. They put themselves on the front line of the traditional marriage battle like no other church group. And now individual Mormons are paying a terrible price for standing up for something we all believe in."

I have to come clean for a minute. I haven’t purchased any Mac or PC software in well over three years. I’m a pirating machine and I’d like to think I do it very well. However, I recently got a demo of some software called MediaLink from Nullriver Software. It essentially links my Macs to my Playstation 3 out in the living room of my apartment. This allows me to stream all those pirated TV ...

From the Imprudence Blog It has been an intense two and a half months since we first announced the Imprudence project. There has been laughter, there has been joy, there has been boredom and frustration, stress and near burn-out, and a medley of other emotions thrown in there as well. But today it’s all worth it, because today the first release candidate of the Imprudence Viewer is ready! Read the rest for more information, plus ...

You know what I’ve noticed? I’ve noticed that if you want to even be remotely taken seriously in public discourse, don’t say you believe in God. God is the new gay. In hushed tones, Aunt Petunia whispers conspiratorially in Nephew Regiinald’s ear, “That’s Melissa. I hear she believes in God.” Gasp! I might have a more quiet, inward faith but there are other people in this country who evangelize more directly, who believe passionately and ...

Innovation, renovation, reformation, renewal, revival, transformation... it's all about 'change'. We all desire change, yet are so little able to bring it about... even in our own lives. [Sorry to say, I speak from experience. Thus I've become a student of the topic over the last twelve years, in search of accelerated change.]Being born-again is about radical change and life-long sanctification through God the Spirit, and into the image of God the Son."...continue to work ...

Wow! Watching history being made with @h_smith. Remarkable. 07:06 PM November 04, 2008 from txt That was my Tweet that I texted from my phone when I found out Barack Obama won the election. That Tweet was delivered from Twitter, to Facebook, automatically updating my Facebook status…just like all my Twitters do. Getting Nasty Seems like a relatively benign procedure.

The hottest post-election gossip blazing its way across the country is, as Scout Finch noted earlier, the "revelation" that Sarah Palin was in fact even more embarrassingly clueless than her empty-headed performance over the past two months had already led America and the world to believe. Didn't know Africa was a continent. Couldn't name the member nations of NAFTA, even though they're the immediate neighbors of the United States. And, by the way, she was ...

The Christian Coalition is telling people to "vote the Bible" (HT Notes From Off Center). Unfortunately, they appear not to have read it. All the Bible has to say specifically and unambiguously on that subject is to mandate abortion in cases of infidelity (Numbers 5:11-31).This is not to say that abortion should not be an issue for Christians, but if one is concerned to emphasize things that are emphasized in the Bible, then social justice ...

Do you think Jon Pareles gets bored of writing the same CMJ nut graf year after year after year? 2008: The marathon, which concluded on Saturday night, was created in 1980 by the weekly college-radio newsletter once called College Music Journal and now known as CMJ New Music Report.

So what is a conservative now? Most remarkable about this election, Obama is smashing the electoral college. In the comments of an post on Georgia’s quite possibly Obama win, someone points out how the English Tory party outgrew its social platform. The shocking lack of diversity we saw at the Republican national convention is proof the party message has got to change. By 2042, minorities will be the majority. Already, Asians, Hispanics, and African-Americans overwhelmingly ...

It's been a few months since the initial rumors surfaced that Frank Miller was looking to resurrect the Buck Rogers franchise. Well, a recent interview with Deborah Del Prete, producer of Miller's upcoming project The Spirit, has referenced an "old-school" character that Miller was looking to bring back soon. It seems that a source close to Miller was contacted by IESB.net, and it was confirmed that indeed this "old-school" character was the one and only ...Shared by Yatin Vadhia (2555)Contribute comment
