Why are we ashamed of who we are? Americans seem to be ashamed of success, ashamed of power, ashamed of wealth, ashamed of anything that distinguishes us. Even Christians seem to be ashamed of being Christians in this country! Why? Why is it that, despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of Americans celebrate Christmas, the government and many businesses are afraid or ashamed to publicly

Last night, I got into a conversation about how certain areas of the academic world seem to have no purpose beyond self-perpetuations, and maybe validating their own existence. It got me thinking, how much of America really has only these features for its purpose? Many politicians seem to do very little of value, and yet pander and talk and even lie to keep themselves in office. They seem to be

This past week, some rather interesting controversy has arisen at CSU. The University paper published a very short, very vulgar editorial condemning the President. The editor of the paper claims that he was simply exercising his Freedom of Speech, and trying to bring greater awareness to the rights that students have. I think that his misconception about rights and freedom is unfortunate, and

While reading the news today, I saw a rather disturbing headline: "President's Warrantless Wiretapping Powers Extended." If you want to read the full text of the article, it is found here, but the summary is that the President signed a bill allowing the government to monitor electronic communications without a warrant, the only requirement was that a high level official "sign off" on it.The

I have been reading some articles about how much personal information Google collects, and how few safeguards there are against abusing this information. The whole article can be found at CNN. Effectively, between Gmail, logging searches, its IM client, and all of the various services Google provides, they could, in theory, create a complete profile of many people.

I read a very interesting article about the Great Pyramids recently. The full text is found on Yahoo News. Basically, though some investigation, some scientists have come to the conclusion that the Great Pyramid in Egypt is not made from limestone blocks quarried, dragged, and carved to the site, but were actually cast (like cement). Apparently however they cast these blocks so well done that it

Wow, it has been a long time since I've written anything! I managed to survive my Junior year, so I should, in theory have a little more free time. Lately I have been pondering what the purpose of my life is, what my driving force is and should be. The simple answer is that my purpose is the same as every other believer: to bring Glory to God. This simple mandate is the direction to head in,

I have been thinking lately about what it means to be a leader. It seems clear to me that there is more to leadership than simply wielding power over others. Anyone can wield power, but that does not mean that everyone is a leader.That quality that we call "leadership" is more than just directing or commanding, it is more than determining the destiny of others, although these are part of it.

I have sometimes wondered why Americans have so little stomach for war now. I heard one explanation on the radio this morning for why the American people were behind all of World War 2, but can't seem to stand a few years of war in Iraq. The radio commentator pointed out that only in more recent times has there been a continual flow of news from the war front. In previous wars, news came as a

I was thinking about the strength of ideologies recently, and I came across a rather interesting conclusion. Humanism is an ideal with very little strength. It has no strength of conviction, no promise of reward, and no fear of punishment. Humanism has an insidious quality to it, for it can only survive in a "polite" society; in fact it seems tailor made for such a society.Let me explain; in a

When I heard who Time magazine chose to be their person of the year for 2006, I couldn't help but laugh. As the front cover suggests Time magazine named "You" as the person of the year. Basically, anyone who uses the Internet is the person of the year for 2006. So, congratulations, you too are the person of the year!I find this to be rather lazy on the part of Time magazine.

Another interesting question was brought up recently as a result of email conversations:There are so many terrible wrongs, genocides, and oppression throughout the the world perpetrated by immoral governments and brutal warlords. The question is, when, if ever, would it be right for a powerful country like America to intervene?When is it right to intervene in the affairs of another country? If a

An email conversation led me to consider the question, is music itself amoral. Is it morally neutral in and of itself? In order to be amoral, music must be inherently neither good (righteous) nor bad (the absence or opposite of good). Clearly the use of music is far from amoral, it can be used to praise God, and it can be used to mock, criticize, and drive people from Him. So, music can

American society attaches value so many things that are completely meaningless. With so much emphasis on possessions, security, power, and comfort, I really believe that we have lost sight of what is is really important. We as Christians are not called to simply go to church and learn, we are called to be salt and light. Truly, faith without works is dead. Why is it then, that so many American

Many in the media and the political left have declared that the recent change of power in the Senate and House of Representatives shows that the American people want change. Clearly, this is the case, however, change should never be an end. American politics have an oscillating quality; we almost always going back and forth between two parties.

This semester has shown me some difficult things about myself. I have really seen that I have not been depending on God, but on myself. While praying and struggling with the load I have taken on myself, God showed me that this is why I have been under so much stress, and had difficulty coping with the workload. In His grace, He showed me a picture of what it means to depend on Him, what it means

August 1, 1953 To the Board of Trustees, Greetings, I am worried by the lack of interest that your organization has shown in my recent discoveries. Perhaps if you give my proposal further consideration, you will see the necessity of continuing with another expedition.

As I drove to school this morning, I was shown a poignant analogy. I drove along, concentrating on the road and cars around me; after a few minutes, I finally looked up and saw one of the most beautiful images I have ever seen.

When looking through an old attic, for I am wont to do those sorts of things on occasion, I came across a box of letters. This is not unusual, and often leads to exciting insight into the lives of those who wrote them. However, when I began to read these letters, I discovered the most extraordinary story. They were written by an archaeologist by the name of Dr. Fowlstien. He was a brilliant man

July 21, 1953 To the Board of Trustees, Greetings, As you know, I have devoted my life to the study of lost civilizations. Over the years I have made many important discoveries, but none so important as that to which I have devoted the last decade of my life to uncovering. What I have found is possibly the most earth shattering discovery that we have ever made. It is clear to me now that

America has become the greatest country on earth, and as such has become the battlefield of modern ideas. It is here where the future of the civilized world will be decided. War, politics, diplomacy, they all come back to the battle of ideas. It is in the assumptions of a society, the core beliefs, that the course that country will take is decided.

The current "War on Terror" in which America now finds herself is not a new war. It is a war that has raged for over a thousands years. The great conflict between Islam and those nations founded on Christianity has been raging ever since the Arabs first invaded the Byzantine empire.

Take a look at the American government, and ask yourself what it has accomplished lately. I'm sure you'll find a few items here and there, but for the most part, our government is rather ineffectual.

The Church in America has, for several decades, concentrated heavily on reaching the lost in other countries. America supports many many missionaries in many countries around the world. We have done much to spread the gospel throughout the world. However, when one looks at American society today, it is hard to believe that this could be so.

I went out camping this weekend and while we were out, we hiked up to Hanging Lake. As we went along, I often looked around at the wonders of God's hand all around me. The mountains, the trees, the river, the lake itself; all incedible and mindboggling.

The current conflict between Israel and the Terrorist group Hezbollah has sparked an interesting question.

There has been a lot of talk in the past day or two about embryonic stem cell research, primarily because the Senate just passed a bill expanding the legality of this type of research, as well as providing more federal dollars to it. This bill raises a number of important questions, from how viable is this technique, to is it morally right to sacrifice one person in order to save another.Let us

When we go to the voting booths in August, and again in November, how will we decide who to vote for? If you're like most Americans, you'll look for the D or R after their name, and mark accordingly. While a political party can be a good indicator for what a candidate stands for, should it really be the sole, or even the primary motivation behind voting for them? When you look at the ballot this

An extremely disturbing website came to my attention this afternoon. I mean this sincerely, it is a real website, published by the US government. The website is SPP.gov, that stands for Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America. The description sounds an awful lot like that of the European Union.The question is, what are our leaders doing? Are they really trying to

As most of my readers (assuming, of course, that I have any) know, I have spent much of my life playing video games. I really was, at one time, addicted to them. However, in the past few months, I have simply had too much to do to spend very much of my time gaming. I've gone to a couple of LAN parties, and played a little here and there, but nothing like any previous summer. They say that "

I was reading about the recent presidential election in Mexico, and the course of events sounds strangely familiar. A leftist candidate and conservative candidate have an extremely close race, the initial count indicates that the conservative is the victor. However, the vote count is so close, a recount is necessary. Throughout the recount, the indicated winner changes back and forth, and in the

Today's 8-Bit theatre introduces a way to solve both world hunger and war.Here is the comic (sorry, it's rather small here, click to enlarge):There you have it, all we have to do is proclaim an all air diet, and conquer the world; then we shall have peace and prosperity.

What defines a country? Is it the people? The Laws? The social structure? What determines whether a nation will be great, or weak? Just or tyrannical? Some would say that the people determine what their country is; a nation is composed of its people. However, people, especially when in a group, are little more than sheep, easily led into this path or that. They make up a nation, but they do not

"Everything in the world may be endured except continued prosperity." - Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThis quotation brings up some very interesting questions, beyond simply "is the point it makes true."The point that von Goethe seems to be making is that humanity will endure nearly anything, but when we become too successful for too long, we collapse in on ourselves. This trend can be seen

In the past several decades, there have been many occurrences of the government overstepping it's bounds. Some examples of this include legalising abortion, virtually banning Christianity from public schools, billions of dollars of "aid" thrown at other nations, adoption the laws of UN as our own, the list goes on. These gross misuse of power begs the question, what can be done to stop, and even

Google has announced their first move towards competing in the physical world with the creation of Google Gulp. This amazing new line of drinks will not only quench your thirst and give you more energy, but it will make you smarter! From Google's FAQ:"1. How does Google Gulp work?Well, to comprehend the long version of this answer, you'd need a PhD (from Stanford, natch). The short version is,

At long last, we have reached the first day of summer. The calender has finally caught up with the weather! Now, when it's in the 90s or 100s, we can say, "well, that's summer in Colorado."In other news, arysith asked that I explain my windows virus rant. I think he was, basically, talking about a spoofed quote I wrote a couple of years ago. Here it is:"I'd like to share a revelation that I've

Have you ever wondered why it is that so many people just assume that a scientist is right, almost regardless of what they say? I once got into an argument over evolution and many of the arguments presented for it boiled down to "because scientists say so." I have wondered since that time what makes scientists so infallible, that most people will automatically take anything they say as fact.

Well, I finally did it. I created a Blog. I tried to resist the urge to do so, but it seems I am too weak to keep from using every chance I get to express my opinions and beliefs. I'll probably post political and legal analysis, for the most part. The occasional tangent is likely, variety is the spice of life, as they say. This blog will be updated as often as I have time and I feel like it. That
