Going astray

“In answer to your inquiry, I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.” William Booth - Salvation Army, Founder

The "coming century" was the 1900s.  If this wasn't true by 2000, I certainly think it is by now.

Regardless of such quibbles, about whether Gosnell was killing the infants one second after they left the womb instead of partially inside or completely inside the womb — as in a routine late-term abortion — is merely a matter of geography. That one is murder and the other is a legal procedure is morally irreconcilable.

I agree, and the rest of the article leaves me sickenedly speechless...

I'll admit it; I like to see Tiger play well and win, but let's not kid ourselves.  This statement isn't true - just a reflection of our culture.

People Are "Learning Scripture" from ‘The Bible’ Miniseries

Saw this in Relevant magazine online...

When asked whether or not THE BIBLE gave them a sense of surprise or new discovery or revealed something they didn’t know before about the Bible, most viewers of the program (69%) said it did. Less active Christians were most likely to find something new or surprising about the Bible that they didn’t know before (78%) compared to non- Christians (67%) and active Christians (60%).

 The best part is this user's comment in response to the above: 

Michael Schutz commented…

Here's the $64,000 question, and one that I would think would be critical question for this survey to ask: are they learning those new things about the Bible from the actual Bible (ie. they're looking stuff up that they see in the series), or are they learning these new things from the series itself? There are "new" things in the series that could lead someone to say "yes" to that question, but there are things in the series that aren't actually in the Bible. So how do we distinguish whether that "learning" was profitable or not? I must say, it doesn't help to have a sense that you discovered something new about the Bible if that which you discovered isn't actually in the Bible.

Really interesting data visualization. Too bad the real crux of this is a what-is-to-be-done question. Because that’s where things get a lot trickier.

"No one knows for sure how many individual pages are on the web, but right now, it’s estimated that there are more than 14 billion. Recently, though, Hungarian physicist Albert-László Barabási discovered something surprising about this massive number: Like actors in Hollywood connected by Kevin Bacon, from every single one of these pages you can navigate to any other in 19 clicks or less."

I'd love to test this, but considering the number of links on any one page, I don't see how this would be remotely practical.  ...even from a luck stand point.  Suppose there are an average of only 10 links per webpage and that I chose two pages only 10 clicks away from each other.  My odds are still only 1 in 10^10 = fuggedaboutit.

On Saturday, Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow. And you know what that means – nothing, because that’s not how weather works.

It is, of course, possible to distract a heavily armed psychotic on a suicide mission by throwing an iPod at him, or a pencil. But it is more likely that the psychotic would respond by shooting the pencil thrower.

I have yet to fully explore Maluuba's functionality, but I really like it so far.  This should make the wait for Android 4.1 with Google Now a bit easier to handle.  Who know's? ...maybe this will be better than Siri AND Google Now.

I've been tying my shoes this way for a few months, and I love it.  There has not been a single time when this knot has come undone unexpectedly.  Today I was lazy and tied my knots in the standard fashion, and by lunch, one was loose and the other untied.
