A recent attack advert came out against Romney. Sadly, the attack advert points out yet again what many of us feared, particularly those of us who have lived in more than one country. You can see the attack advert above. [Note: what Romney is saying in French on the top advert is NOT what is […]
Hmm, can we say dumb pirates?
From ABC News: Somali pirates may be terrorizing the waters off of East Africa, but maybe they should pick their targets a little more carefully and stop targeting European warships. Earlier today, some Somali pirates got a little too greedy and attacked the Spanish warship serving as the flagship for the European Union’s fleet of […]
Interesting Tebow post
From NBC Sports: Poll: 43 percent of people think Tebow’s success is due to divine intervention … including 54 percent of Republicans Who would have thought that a football player would be every bit as good a witness for Christ as many an evangelist? Here are some more statistics. The numbers fluctuate greatly with the […]
Battle of the Bulge – 67 years ago
The comic above refers to an incident that happened during the Battle of the Bulge. Sixty-seven years ago today Allied soldiers were fighting a desperate battle to stop the Nazi attempt to break the encircling Allied Armies. It was an attempt that came too close to success for comfort. This battle was the largest and […]
Nice comeback by Tebow
Yes, yes, I realize that the above is not really an Orthodox cartoon, but I could not resist it. As you know, the Denver Broncos won against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday during their playoff game. Now the Broncos go on to face the Patriots. What I had not caught was that: Tebow completed 10 […]
Evolutionary theory and some fun
Have a little fun with the cartoon above! The view of evolution espoused above is an extreme one that would be rejected by most scientists, but it is one that is perhaps most often found in popular culture. Note that nature has been anthropomorphized. In straight secular evolutionary theory–which I do not agree with–there is […]
Southern gun shows and people watching
Exactly a month ago my friend and I both invested in an AR-15 rifle as we got a great deal for them from Moriarti Arms. So today when I heard there was a gun show in Alabama, I just had to visit it. And as it was just a few blocks from the church, and […]
Feast of the Three Kings
Today is La Fiesta de los Reyes Magos, the Feast of the Three Kings. Now, you are probably saying, “wait, wait, today is the Feast of the Epiphany!” Well, uhm, yes you would be completely correct, and in church that is the feast that is being celebrated. However, in popular Latino culture, the practice is […]
Guns and self-defense, when it somewhat works as it should
As I quoted in an post several months ago, the position of the OCA on self-defense is that the Evangelical counsels of the Church consider “turning the other cheek” as being the ideal for a Christian. Nevertheless, as the article points out, in this fallen and damaged world this is not always either possible or […]
On syphilis and science
Yesterday, I commented that science is based on the clash of competing theories as well as experimental studies. However, sometimes the studies lead into subjects that cross over into our understanding of history. One such subject is the study of the origins of history. Archeology magazine writes the following in an article: Debate about the […]
