...and he's doing a damn poor job of it too."We had an accountability moment, and that's called the 2004 elections," Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post. "The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me."Read the full story here.There is one difference between Bush and Pilate, though: Pilate was openly conflicted about the meaning of...

America should apologize to Japan: now WE have a God Emperor that can't be looked upon!
"When the Emperor passed by we had to bow our heads very low. We were made to believe that the Emperor was too awe inspiring for ordinary humans to look upon directly."Hirohito was the last to sit on the Chrysanthemum throne and be considered a god upon Earth. It used to be taught to every small child during the long centuries of Imperial Japan that they must not dare look at the Emperor... else they would be struck blind. Many among the Japanese...

There's nothing wrong with KILLING people who want to do this to your children...
Now, the tendency among a lot of folks - namely, some Christians - is that they'll hear about this and automatically assume it's the biblical "mark of the Beast". That's a pretty new idea, actually. Until ten years or so ago no student of the Bible (serious or... nevermind) had a clear picture of WHAT exactly this might be but with the advent of implantable chips, it's by far the most accepted theory of what the "mark" will be. Doesn't mean it...

We're Lost
The lovely Spousal Overunit and I finished watching a full episode of Lost for the very first time. It seems... intriguing.I've absolutely NO idea what's supposed to be going on here thou...
President Bush admits guidance from Lucifer in Washington Times interview
Okay, I'll admit that was bad. But it's not all that inaccurate either.In an interview with the Washington Times earlier this week, Bush said that he didn't "see how you can be president without a relationship with the Lord."Okay, which lord are we talking about here?There is Our Lord and Savior. The Prince of Peace. He who sits at the right hand of God in Heaven. The Lamb slain for the sins of man so that we might live. The only begotten Son...
So we got an Xbox for Christmas and I'm FINALLY "getting it" about why Halo is so frickin' awesome!!
But...Okay, I'm not that far into the game as most people have been, who've probably won the thing and gone onto Halo 2 (which I can't wait to play but I'm a conservative videogamer: gotta finish one game before moving on to any sequels) so maybe this will make sense eventually. Right now it makes positively none to me.I spent 2 hours last night stuck on that level where the mission is to lead your team aboard the Covenant ship via the "gravity...

I've discovered the real meaning of life. Should it get posted here?
Somewhere between Charlotte and the state line the little car - its shiny exterior hardly speaking of the things that its owner had put it through in four-some years since purchase - tore along I-85, heading west into the night. It was unseasonably warm, and humid... not like what the storybook Christmas night is supposed to be at all. "We'll make up for that," the driver chuckled to himself. "Christmas of '85 was practically 80... then that winter...

You know that thing in the Bible about rendering unto God and Caesar?
Well, I've been wondering: I try my best to render unto God, but how am I supposed to render unto Caesar? Not to sound insensitive but ummm... I mean... the guy's dead, y'know.And something else: Jesus taught us to "render unto Caesar those things that are Caesar's": He did not teach us to "render unto Caesar everything that Caesar claims is his after lusting for it". Which to the best of my knowledge none of the serious Caesars (forget Nero and...

About next week's presidential inauguration...
Why must it cost $50 million to lay one's right hand atop a Bible and repeat an oath to uphold something that is going to be broken anyway?For that kind of money, it darned well better be a Gutenberg he's swearing it ...
Quit shoving Valentine's Day down my throat when I'm still recovering from Christmas
You know how stores like Wal-Mart and Target and everyone else start putting their Valentine's Day stuff out the day after Christmas, and how on November 1st everything Christmas is already on full-bore display with all that candy that got marked half-off the only sign that Halloween has passed? And then when Valentine's is over, the Easter crap is already put up less than 24 hours later?I hate that.Life is too short without profit-mad corporate...
Hell yes I AM TOO a serious Christian writer, dammit!!
It's occurred to me - on several occassions - that some people visiting this blog might go away feeling confused, and perhaps even upset or offended, at some of the language that I use here at times. And maybe that it runs wildly afoul of my claim to be a Christian and that must be something I need to bear in mind: my testimony before others, including my mannerisms and speech, should be a reflection of God's presence in my life so that others might...

Something wicked this way comes... again: Carnivàle second season begins tonight on HBO
When it comes to television, you're reading the words of a man who is only slightly more liberal than the Amish. Meaning: I have to know with conviction that whatever it is on the screen is not going to waste even a few hours of my life to watch. It better be enlightening enough that I'm not only willing, but desiring to invest my time toward viewing it. Heavy emphasis...
So TNT is running The Perfect Storm right now and I'm wondering...
...this movie about the Andrea Gail and the 1991 noreaster is a wonderful tribute to, not only the crew of the ship but to all those who have worked the seas to make a living for generations.Somebody should now make a movie about the Edmund Fitzgerald.It'll be 30 years this coming fall since it happened, arguably the most famous shipwreck of the last half-century. I've spoken with people who were college students in Michigan at the time: they remembered...
Yet another thought on contemporary Christianity
Doesn't it seem like too many Christians nowadays have based their faith on the Rapture instead of basing it in Chri...
