Don't Forget the Christians in North Korea

Martyrdom awaits North Koreans on Christmas

In a nation where being a Christian can bring the death penalty for the "offender" and his entire family, where tens of thousands of Christians are held in terminal prison camps, and the populace is taught to revere its dictator as a god, there will be martyrdom for Christians on Christmas Day, according to an international ministry.

Keep them in your prayers.

Hundreds of scientists reject global warming

A new U.S. Senate report documents hundreds of prominent scientists – experts in dozens of fields of study worldwide – who say global warming and cooling is a cycle of nature and cannot legitimately be connected to man's activities.

Here's 10 good questions about global warming. I'll post the first four below:

1. What is the perfect temperature?

If we are to embark on a lifestyle-altering quest to lower the temperature (or at least minimize its rise), what is our goal? I don’t ask this flippantly. Can we demonstrate that one setting on the global thermostat is preferable over another? If so, what is it, and how do we get there? And, once there, how do we maintain it? Will we ever have to “heat things up” again if it drops below that point?


2. Just what is the average temperature of the earth?

At any one time there are temperature extremes all over the planet. How do we come up with an average, and how do those variations fit in with our desire to slow global warming?


3. What factors have led to global warming in the past, and how do we know they aren’t the causes of the current warming trend?

Again, I don’t ask this in a judgmental way. There is no argument that warming cycles (or cooling, for that matter) have been a part of earth’s history. Why are we so sure this one is different?


4. Why is there such a strong effort to stifle discussion and dissent?

I’m always troubled by arguments that begin, “Everybody agrees...” or “Everyone knows...” In fact, there is a good deal of dissent in the scientific world about the theory of man-made global warming. A large (and growing) segment of those who study such things are questioning some of the basic premises of the theory. Why should there be anything wrong with that? Again, this is a big deal, and we should have the best information and opinion from the best minds.

Fair questions one and all.

Kill Whitey

The $750,000 note that won't buy a loaf of bread

Zimbabwe's economy has been in free-fall since 2000, when war veterans began to invade white-owned farms. Up to four million Zimbabweans have left for greener pastures.

Maybe not such a good idea in hindsight.

Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam

I received my first real spam on Gmail today. It was from a fake eBay seller offering a second chance on an auction I never heard of. Gmail did not catch it. I forwarded it to eBay and they said it was not from them.

I only say this because I have serious doubts about the spam on Gmail. I talk about that here.

I can't really post anything else after that.

Top Iranian cleric: Wear a headscarf or die

“Women who do not respect the hijab and their husbands deserve to die,” said Hassani, who leads Friday prayers in the city of Urumieh, in Iranian Azerbaijan.

“I do not understand how these women who do not respect the hijab, 28 years after the birth of the Islamic Republic, are still alive,” he said.

“These women and their husbands and their fathers must die,” said Hassani, who is the representative of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in eastern Azerbaijan.

The women, their husbands and their fathers must die - their mothers, not so much.

Alternative Fuel?

I think this takes the term a bit too far.

The fastest eco boat on the planet will attempt to break the round the world speed record using fuel made from human fat.

I wonder who thought of using human fat as fuel for a boat anything. Only seven liters of the bio-diesel is from human fat, but still. I think someone may be non-compliant with their drug treatment plan. What's next? A brilliant plan to use the millions of aborted babies as a fuel source? And instead of burial or cremation you'll be forced to donate your body to make bio-diesel?

One Tiny Bible

Seems like an awful lot of trouble to go through. Make the Bible smaller than a pinhead and then blow it up to a seven-by-seven meter poster?

He said he now wanted to take pictures of the nano-Bible and blow it up to a seven-by-seven metre poster, which will make it "possible to read the entire bible with the naked eye".

I can read my Bible with the naked eye and it fits in my hand. He must need glasses, making that tiny Bible strained his eyes.

It's All About Power

The earth is your fuhrer

"When the chips are down I think democracy is a less important goal than is the protection of the planet from the death of life, the end of life on it," he says. "This has got to be imposed on people whether they like it or not."

Who Needs the Death Penalty?

Certainly not this guy.

It runs counter to what you would expect but when you treat evil with respect and try to play fair with it, it grows far worse. You're both playing a different game and evil knows no rules. That's why no gun zones don't work and our revolving door justice system is doing nothing to prevent crime. We must have a firm and strong hand against crime.

I find it strange that they are banning smoking in movies because -

"the primary reason is that cigarette smoking is a hazard and we should avoid depicting it in movies and on television,"

but violence is glorified to such a degree it boggles the mind - in movies, video games and music - and of course, the excuse is that watching violence in movies or video games doesn't influence anyone to commit violent acts.

For all the knowledge we have in this country, in the world, there is one thing we lack - wisdom.

But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell? Man does not comprehend its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living (Job 28:12-13)
