Wednesday, January 26, 2005So What About Evolution?I am still wondering what the problem is between the theory of evolution and the belief in creation.

She writes You Filipinos, Friarcito, appear to be a very celebratory group!! We have many holidays and ignore most of them. You all dress up, play music, dance and decorate the squares!!

As the tsunami death toll rises, we see people becoming generous and unselfishness. True there is still pain, a lot of tears and many reasons to fear. But there are a lot more reasons to hold onto the conviction that Our Lord is the Lord of...

It is about the tunnel vision of certain Christians who seem to think that the I-Jesus relationship is the be-all of Christianity. While I agree with word.smith, I'd also like to add that whoever thinks that an I-Jesus spirituality is the goal of...

No, they do not. There are, and will remain to be, millions upon millions of Web sites which never incorporate blogging into what they do, nor have the need. With an unlimited online...

Tonight, I found a blog by littlemspickles about how her friends don't understand what blogging is all about. The same thing happens to me. The other members in my community...

The guy who said that in an open forum on the internet may have been brainwashed by these "Christian" cults. Reduction after all is one of their hallmarks.
