The schism between the Orthodox Churches and the Roman Catholic Church make the Protestant/Catholic split look like a minor disagreement. It surprised me, then to see the recent news about Pope John Paul II returning Orthodox relics to the leaders of the Orthodox Church. For those of you who don’t have the Christian Schism scorecard, […]

Doug Wilson has posted a review of Guy Waters’ new book, Justification and the New Perspectives on Paul, and he seems to agree with the author who seems to agree with Gaffin. Wilson vents his ongoing frustration with the usual irony: Now, when we Federal Vision troublemakers are sitting there listening to the discussion between […]

While I have no plans on seeing the movie, this review of Alexander in the Marin Independant Journal has probably cemented my resolve not to go. The reviewer don’t mince words when describing how much he hates this film. “Alexander” takes one of world history’s most interesting characters and tabloidizes him with speculation on his […]

“When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?” – G.K. Chesterton “The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day […]

While the Thanksgiving holidays have traditionally been a celebration of the blessings that God has given us, and a yearly time set aside to thank our Provider and Creator for his gifts, our modern litigious society has caused gracious hosts to worry whether their serving of a meal could force them into the poorhouse. Fear […]

This is… interesting. I stumbled on Molatar’s Castle from BoingBoing . The site has the goal of “spreading the Gospel in the werewolf and furry communities.” I really don’t know how to comment on it, so instead, I’m just going to post a few choice quotes. You can take from this what you choose. As […]

I don’t recall my parents ever saying this… perhaps it might have helped. My son, Thomas, is now prone to sneaking into the office to use the computer. I called him over after an episode of disobedience this evening, and told him that if he did it again, that he would a) get a spanking, […]

One one hand, this story has a “well, duh…” element about it. On the other hand, it’s dumbfounding how disfunctional our federal government, and how we continue to accept it. CNN has a story about the Senate barely catching language in the 2005 spending bill that would have allowed two Republican congressmen, one from Florida […]

Have Premillennial Dispensationalists become discontent with simply watching the prophetic events unfold around them, and decided to help try speed up God’s timetable? In a well-written article entitled “On the Road to Armageddon“, Timothy Weber discusses how much of America’s foreign policy is actually based on the false views of Dispensational Theology. The online article […]

Take the “How Do You Use Magic?” test! Written by Brimo

You would think after the embarrassment caused by the “faulty intellegence” we had on Iraq and their weapons capabilities, that the Bush Administration would be a bit more careful to coroborate intellegence before they start spouting accusations. You would think… but you’d be wrong.

An editorial in the Washington Post has endorsed Firefox as their browser of choice. Looking at my logs, I can see that many of you are using IE… perhaps the article will convince you to change. If you want to give it a go (what do you have to lose?), then click on the Firefox […]

Well, President Bush has won reelection, and I cannot say that I’m disappointed. The idea of John Kerry as President kinda scared me, especially since I couldn’t really predict what he would do. While I usually don’t care for many of President Bush’s decisions, at least he is a predictable neoconservative. Many of the Bush […]

You may have noticed that we’ve changed the name of our weblog. The title deserves an explanation. In his classic (and sadly underrated) movie, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Terry Gilliam truly created a masterpiece. In the course of the film, the leader of the city (played masterfully by Jonathan Pryce) accuses the Baron of […]

Sarah and I have arrived safely in Japan, after a really long flight. Door to door, it took 23 hours to get here. For the first time, I flew in the back of the plane with the common folk, and honestly, it really wasn’t that bad. It was tough to sleep, but I blame sitting […]
