So let's see:

Mid East is still in crisis.
Gas Prices going way up.
Gitmo closed. Wait, no it's not.
US casualties up in Afghanistan.
Nato caused civilian casulties up in Afghanistan.
Economy is still in shambles.
States are broke.
Somali pirates have finally been stopped. Oops, not so fast...
Housing market is still in the dumps.

Yes, this is MUCH better than the Bush era.

Just sayin'

It's hard to think of a worse way to be a representative for Christianity than to try and extract scientific claims from the Bible, where none are made and are clearly of no Biblical value, and constantly berating A/A's in a public astronomy forum with them. I am so thankful to God that I was never exposed to this when I was an active scientists and atheist. It would have naturally hardened me even further to the Gospel.

The entire idea of living the Christian life is to bear fruit from God for others; you know Jesus is the vine, you are the branch kinda thing? The fruit that is constantly referred to in scripture is:

"the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."

Sometimes I wonder if the brain-debates that we all have are simply masking over something deeper within...



You mean there is somebody on these forums that does this?

Oh, BTW, most of the berating is initiated by A/A's and directed toward Christians not the other way around.

This is an abandoned mine just east of Red Lodge, Mt. They shut it down after a tragic accident at the mine.

This one is an alpine lake near the Beartooth pass in the Beartooth mountains between Red Lodge and the NW entrance to Yellowstone.

This is a iconic photo of the Grand Prismatic spring in YNP. I was worth the climb up the cliff to get the shot from above!

And of course the pic everyone who goes to Yellowstone takes of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

Finally, closer to home, some of the strange and wonderful cliff formations in the Garden of the Gods in southern Illinois.

I Agree With Alito On This One

I didn't think I'd actually agree with much of anything Sammy says, but he's right on this one:

Alito is way wrong on this. Do you want the government determining what is free speech and what is not! Free speech rights must be protect at all cost even in the face of what these foxboro cultists blurt out. We have enough problems in this country, we don't need to lose our free speech rights. There are other ways of shutting the mouths of these people at the local level and within the constitution.
