Reflections and Rant for the End of Days

While I was driving to work today, a thought occurred to me that I hope you will find encouraging. The “fruits of the Spirit” are identified as those nine virtues or qualities that mark the life of the true Christian (Gal. 5:22-23):
Love (agape)- ahavah. This is the very first fruit.
Joy (chara)- simcha
Peace (eirene) - shalom
Longsuffering (makrothumia) [...]

New Torture Weapons Developed by Raytheon
With the harrowing cries of unjustly tasered University of Florida student Andrew Meyer still ringing in my ears, I was horrified to learn that “Merchant of Death” Raytheon Corporation has been quietly developing a new sort of “ray gun” (Orwellianly named the “Silent Guardian”). It seems that this that vile and sadistic contraption, devised no doubt with the darkest of [...]

As delicious irony would have it, Mr. Bill “I-didn’t-have-sex-with-that-woman” Clinton was forced to give his exclusive fund-raising speech about energy policy in the dark last night. It seems that despite the technological advances of modern man, with electricity and information being delivered at the flip of a switch, even Mr. Clinton or his well-monied cronies couldn’t find the means [...]

I’m not sure why University of Florida student Andrew Meyer was tasered and beaten down by a group of gun-toting police today. The details are sketchy. Perhaps his questions to U.S. Sen. John Kerry about the 2004 election during a “campus forum” were considered too volatile, like the inflammatory rhetoric of a madman who refuses to stop yelling “fire! [...]

It seems like the world can’t get enough of the “material girl” Madonna, aka “Esther” (Louise Ciccone Ritchie). According to Haaretz magazine, Louise has recently appointed herself as “Ambassador for Judaism” and was given warm reception and private audience with none other than President Shimon Peres in Jerusalem after Rosh Hashana festivities concluded last Saturday evening.
Could the formerly meretricious “Madonna” actually [...]

This morning I read a fascinating article that asked why a 118-year-old cylinder, the international prototype for the metric mass, is losing weight. The cylinder certainly isn’t being meddled with by humans, since it is kept tightly in a triple-locked safe at a lab outside Paris and rarely sees the light of day. It is used exclusively as [...]

My wife and I had a discussion tonight regarding the perennial question of suffering. Why did God create the universe with both the possibility and the prevalence of suffering and evil? Surely an all-loving, all-knowing, and all-powerful God could have created a world free from the harrowing pain that plagues us all.
The question is not [...]

According to the Sun-Sentinel, Broward County’s Hebrew-language Charter School can once again teach Hebrew — thanks to the auspices of Big Brother. It seems the curriculum of the Ben Gamla Charter School was being scrutinized by the Broward School Board, debating the question of whether Hebrew can be taught without also promoting a religion.
So who knew that it might [...]

The Associated Press reports today that University of Oklahoma sports fan Allen Beckett, a church deacon and bar patron, nearly castrated University of Texas fan Brian Thomas. Apparently Mr. Thomas was wearing a Texas Longhorns shirt that didn’t agree with Mr. Beckett, so he decided to castrate him on the spot… Evidently it took more than 60 [...]

Although I do not agree with the doctrinal tenets of Islam for an enormous variety of reasons, and I furthermore contemn their unthinking threats of violence, I do sympathize with their abhorrence of American “popular” culture. For instance, in a recent article, “Terrorists threaten to kill Britney Spears, Madonna,” certain Jihad leaders interviewed on the radio accuse various pop [...]
