I sat down and did nothing. Oh, my fingers moved on the keys and "mouse" [since when do we like mice so well?!].  I "talked" to a friend using this funny medium.  I read some news which interested me and disappeared — or rather, lodged — in my mind, useless, cluttering.

I did nothing I say, joining countless…

Elton John, gifted British musician with over 200 million albums sold, has launched an anti-religious salvo. Perhaps his coments will only receive the collective yawn they deserve, and yet…maybe they merit a reply of sorts.

Thanks to all who endured my recent overblown wrangle with a peace slogan that rather, uhh, bothered me. I conclude this unit, mercifully, with some (brief, I promise) comments below. Thanks again to Michael, Doug, and Aaron for joining the fray and giving forbearance.

Thanks to Michael for taking time to respond to my, uhh, spirited attack on a slogan he posts at his MySpace. You can see his response here and my response-response is posted below.

Somehow, in case you didn’t notice, the question sort of ‘got in my craw’. I hope my case below has some merit and some may care to read and even interact.

Doug, whose fault it is that I got into this in the first place (just kidding), has posted a query seeking responses as well.

As to excerpts, for which all await with ‘bated breath: If peace means, in the classical and biblical sense “cessation of warfare”, then surely you could concede that killing causes war to cease (thus producing peace). The issue is about time within TIME. I think we share a worldview that says there will never be real peace until some understanding of Christ’s return, etc. But if that is the definition of peace, we are all wasting our bandwidth [in the specific purpose of this discussion].

Ok, let’s say global warming is all Al Gore says it is. I suppose he could be correct. I suppose worldview has nothing to do with it (impossible) and that scientific grants and science itself are without bias (also impossible). My own biases may mislead me (certainly possible). So, assuming that global warming is a […]
