A few days ago I discussed my current approach to Christianity. Are the three ways that I previously discussed the only way one can approach Christianity? No, it would be foolish to think that. There's countless ways to approach Christianity. But these are three ways that I've personally experienced Christianity ( Read more... )

A lot of the time I think God is cruel or perhaps non-existent. Those times stink ( Read more... )

All right, boys. I'm going to back to the quieter Jonny. Someone told me that I have a big mouth because I express my opinion too much. It's time to shut up.

G.K. Chesterton talks about how Christianity was shattered at the Reformation and therefore many Christian virtues (prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice) are now found in various schools of thought without each other.

Now, I'm sure there are better movies than the ones that I've seen and I'm sure there are better records than the ones I've listened to and with shows, there are plenty that I didn't get to see. But ( Read more... )

Hey guys, I do a little work for the Militia Group and Yahoo! is running a contest about emerging bands. Cartel is actually a pretty catchy and entertaining band--they have been nominated. If you do me a favor and just vote for them, it would mean a lot to me.

Very briefly, here is my opinion on Samuel Alito. I've been watching the hearing as closely as I can. In fact, I have C-SPAN on right now (or did when I was writing this).
