ut myself and my lack of control i m not good at this i can t do this i normally only get myself into situations in which my excellent performance is a high likelihood i have taken what in other peoples eyes seem to be significant risks but they weren t for me via the paris project posted by jadon at 5 42 pm 0 comments subliminal messages or acting on principle about dr dobson s problems with spongebob it s rather unfortunate if you ask me and one has to wonder if mr dobson isn t getting a little crochety as he ages i think dobson s claim is silly i m not a psychologist but i thought we d given up on the subliminal messages hype a long time ago back in the days when we tired of the backward masking issue that is the recording of messages that can be played when a record is spun backwards thinking back on my childhood i didn t notice what type of relationship ernie and bert had i suppose that s why they re subliminal messages i just thought ernie s laugh was funny and i liked how bert furrowed his brow when ernie annoyed him even when i watched a at the time no no adult tv show such as the golden girls most of the sexual innuendo was completely beyond me or i just wasn t

from theoblogy posted by jadon at 7 34 pm 0 comments why do we refer to things as problems you may say i m picky but i think word choice is the most important thing plus the name you give a thing influences how in what way we ll approach it if we are naming things incorrectly we will not approach them correctly and given the kinds of things that currently earn the name problem the problem of evil the problem of unity and diversity the problem of knowledge the problem of particulars it is really really important to me to approach to them correctly via mere orthodoxy posted by jadon at 7 24 pm 3 comments sunday january 23 2005 via holy weblog michael ventre many if not most christians understand the true message of jesus but there is a frightening number of so called christians who can be best described as creepy rigid arrogant cruel know it all pompous obnoxious and treacherous better known by the acronym c r a c k p o t the now infamous spongebob video or as it is more commonly known now among crackpot christians the insidious perpetuation of the undersea gay agenda by animated phylum porifera also features such notable characters as barney winnie the pooh bob the builder the rugrats and others by their participation i have to assume they are targets as well the crackpot christians will ask why is it we never see barney with a girlfriend or is winnie s preoccupation with honey just a smokescreen and exactly what type of tools is bob the builder busy with these days this situation might be funny if it wasn t so insane yet rather than dump on the crackpot christians for placing their heads in an anatomically impossible position i feel a little sorry for them by turning spongebob into a controversy they re destroying the miniscule amount of credibility they might have had in the eyes of real christians and others these crackpot christians have succeeded in doing something i thought would be impossible they re giving jesus christ a bad name posted by

focus on the family launched a diatribe at spongebob squarepants the lovable sponge along with a cast of other children s characters appeared in a video remake of the disco hit we are family which dobson alleges is trying to insidiously promote gay tolerance the video s creators say it s meant to carry a message of multi culturalism and racial tolerance and does not have anything to do with sexual proclivity via church marketing sucks here s the video in question posted by jadon at 5 38 pm 2 comments tim ehrich turning us against each other works because we don t know each other it is a consequence of living indoors within isolated subgroups and in homes where reality is experienced through a television remote control if we experience our fundamental diversity at all it is as a nuisance as categories that we are compelled to endure and as caricatures we tend to live behind barricades especially in religion we don t listen to each other we accept cartoon level depictions of each other we embrace negative stereotypes as if they were truth we allow leaders to sell us on campaigns that build their power but leave us unfulfilled people theorize monsters into being without actually knowing real people and discovering common worries and joys we draw stick figures and then destroy them as if that were godly work we throw scripture fragments at each other as if shabby scholarship revealed god s will we don t know each other at any depth those who are goading us into holy war don t want us to know each other exploiting our deepest faith yearnings only works if we stay behind the barricade via jesus politics posted by jadon at 5 30 pm 0 comments thursday january 20 2005 america right now reminds me of an old original star trek episode called the enemy within in which a malfunctioning transporter splits captain kirk into two one that has all his vital strength of command and the other that has all his wisdom and judgment the episode is very provocative philosophically because the half that has kirk s force also has his fear while the wise side though weak willed and indecisive is utterly fearless not that either one is a perfect match for either

and evil acts perpetrated by man except that both trigger woolly headed reactions from lightweight theorists take the hitler phenomenon which currently is a hot topic in france where the latest german film on the tyrant s last hours has just opened was it not dangerous to present his human side in this superb movie called der untergang the downfall critics asked this is a question as shallow as the one whether a natural calamity did not disprove god existence of course hitler was human as were roman emperors nero and caligula or the genocidal cambodian dictator pol pot said pannenberg they have

january 18 2005 i think that both the traditional family values people and their sexual revolutionary opponents have made an idol of eros but they ve done it in different ways my own problem with the

comments in a time like ours where fear takes on an apocalyptic dimension it is extremely tempting to join a small group that calls non members useless dangerous or evil and offers a unique sense of belonging to those who follow the rules but whether through distance or closeness fear prevents us from forming an intimate community in which we can grow together everyone in his or her own way when fear separates or joins us we can no longer confess to each other our sins our brokeness and our wounds how then can we forgive each other and come to reconcilliation distance allows us to ignore the other as having no signficance in our lives and closeness offers us an excuse for never expressing or confessing our feelings of being hurt henri nouwen posted by jadon at 6 36 pm 0 comments from
