He is risen!
Posted on March 23rd, 2008 by Joshua
The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Not metaphorically.
Not theoretically.
Not theologically.
The body that was whipped, pierced, and murdered by all the powers of sin and evil in the world was drawn into the loving embrace of our Almighty God and restored to new and eternal life, as we also shall be.
Happy Easter!

Washington Post Candidate Quiz
Posted on January 10th, 2008 by Joshua
Here is a link to a Washington Post Candidate Quiz.
The quiz uses actual quotes from the candidates (without telling you who said what) to help you figure out which candidate best matches your priorities. I found it informative, and was pleased to note that I like the positions of all the leading Democrats on most issues.
Unfortunately, the candidate with whom I seemed to have the most in common - Bill Richardson - doesn’t look like an option this time around.

If you do, or if you even get half the jokes, then you are almost certainly a fellow MMORPG nerd. I’m sorry. (If you need to Wiki “MMORPG”, don’t bother watching the video.

Welcome to Planet Creation, Please Remove Your Brain
Posted on November 13th, 2007 by Joshua
Um, WHAT??? This is like something out of one of those Star Trek episodes where the crew visits a planet run by religious fundamentalists who absolutely refuse to consider scientific data on its own merits but instead filter it through their own religious dogma.
Unfortunately, this isn’t satire (although it would be wickedly funny if it were). This is from one of the exhibits at the Creation Museum. You can find many more pictures here and a thoughtful blog tour here. (Warning: NSFW language, and deservedly so.)
Speaking as an evangelical Christian, it horrifies me that in the twenty-first century there are people insisting that you have to buy into contradictory Babylonian creation myths if they want to be Christians. No wonder so many folks think evangelical Christians are idiots.

Americans Too Stupid for Democracy
Posted on October 5th, 2007 by Joshua
Yet another poll indicates that Americans may very well be too clueless for the privilege of democracy:
Daily Kos: ‘Christian Nation’ Myth Spreading, Polls Show
Unbelievable. And these people who think that our Constitution, whose great innovation was creating a nation whose identity is independent of religious dogma, are allowed to vote. An educated electorate is the key to a vital democracy, and we have grossly failed in that responsibility.
