    Banning books?

    If it happened once, it can happen again. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Here is list of banned books. Many of them are fairly recent bannings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banned_books

    Chocolate Jesus exhibit canceled after uproar

    For some reason this Sculpture does not bother me, probably because it’s not meant to be eaten; but those little chocolate crosses—those thing freak me out every year.

    Tennessee, Churchgoers disagree on clapping in worship.

    I think it’s this bickering about such petty things is what makes Christians look bad to outsiders.

    Why only Christians in a worship team?

    I usually don’t browse this section, but the title was posted on the main page and caught my eye. I think it’s wonderful that the members of that church was able to reach out and let that man join their worship team. If only more churches were more open, I think they would see their numbers...

    Controversial skywalk in place over Grand Canyon

    While I can see concerns if developers and speculators are land grapping around the Grand Canyon, I do feel that if this attraction is on the Indian’s land, then they should be able to build it. Personally I would love to try it.

    Bamboo Flooring,Awesome!

    Why is this in News and Current events? Shouldn’t it be moved to a more appropriate section like recommending a website or product?

    Priests to purify site after Bush visit

    You know, I can’t really blame them. Anyways it’s their holy site and they can do with it what they like.

    Do's and Don't of Witnessing.

    Yeah, but people who are frightened are so much easier to control than people who feel loved. Which I think is why some churches preach fear and hate instead of love and forgiveness.

    Do's and Don't of Witnessing.

    I’ve also known people who once you have taken the time to get to know, love and care for them and LISTEN to them before you start preaching to them has worked a lot better than handing out tracks. But I guess you don’t care about the rocks and the thorns, if you can not even refer to them...

    Do's and Don't of Witnessing.

    I never said that repentance is not important, just that you can not change someone’s belief and way of life in the space of one conversation.

    That sort of things do not happen over night either.

    Do's and Don't of Witnessing.

    I think it’s more prideful to expect everyone to change their life long beliefs just because you talk to them. Just because they don’t stop right then and there and change doesn’t mean you haven’t planted the seed. What sort of farmer expects their vegetables to grow to maturity in minutes?

    Singer refuses to back down over lyric

    So true. I’m just surprised that an American artist hasn’t done the same.
