I want it!

Several days ago, I was trolling MSNBC technology news and I ran across this:

What an awesome looking car! And the technology – you have to take the time to read about it! Now I’m not an environmentalist, but I do care about the environment. More than that, I’m tired of helping the Islamic fascist nations rape us on oil prices. ‘Course, we were the idiots that set up OPEC, weren’t we. I’d really like to see them go back to herding camels in the deserts, instead of promoting terrorism all over the world because their so damn rich and have just too much time on their hands. Sorry, that’s not very Christian like of me, but I’m really tired of hearing all of the terrorist acts that happen every day in this world, all over the world. Columbia, Philippines, England, Britain, Spain, USA, France, Netherlands, Russia, China, India, Iraq, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and nearly every country in Africa (these last 3 seem to do as much promoting terrorism as they receive) …. have I missed any of them? Probably. Oh ya, Israel. But I digress …

A bunch of Silicon Valley electrical engineers who are gear heads and environmentalists decided to try to solve a problem that the Big 3 seemed to be avoiding. I’m probably wrong on that, because it’s probably that they are just too close to the problem and they’re probably just myopic. But these engineers decided to light a fire under Ford, GM, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, etc. (Although Honda and Toyota are probably close to introducing the same. And I did see that GM has a prototype of a fuel cell car, but it’s the size of a house and probably 6 or 7 years from production.) These guys are ready to go production after meeting the auto safety standards, hopefully by late fall 2007.

Now, none of us can afford it for a few years, but the fact that they have solved some very difficult engineering problems is the real news in this.

My God can beat up your God

Today, I'd like to tackle omnipotence. Its really not an attribute of God with which Christians have a problem. I would guess that we would all agree that God is omnipotent, since most of us still hold to the belief that God created the heavens and the earth, right? Some of us (although I'm not one of them) believe that God needed several hundred million years to create it, but He did create it. We might question His ability to be everywhere, all of the time, or His ability to know everything there is to know, but creative power? No, that's not really in question. So why is it that we seem to act like He doesn't have the power to do anything else in the earth today? Its down right schizophrenic! Don't believe me? I'll get to that a little later ... The Jehovah's Witnesses are really good and making sure that you know the word 'Trinity' isn't in the Bible. Well, I'd would like to remind us all that neither are the words omnipotence, ...

Who is Your God?

So here we are ending 2008, ready to start a new year, with a new president, an economy in recession and a nation that seems 'hell-bent' on continuing to throw away the very faith and values that created her and inspired a governmental structure unlike any other on the face of this planet. No, I'm not getting political or disregarding the 'too many to count' horrible things that have been done in the 'name of Christ' as so many like to point out. We all know these things to be true and are reminded of them continually by people whose motives most likely are suspect. So I'm not trying to put lemon juice on a paper cut, but I do think there's a hidden truth that seems to get overlooked by too many Christians feed up and tired of being brow-beaten with the actions of people that none of us knew, and wouldn't have been able to control had we been alive during their times, or present during their sinful actions. Trying to 'fix' that perception...

Jesus in Isa 48:16

This is a comment I posted on a Jehovah's Witness' Yahoo 360 blog some time back, in response to a posting he still currently has on his site questioning the Trinity. I was turned onto this site by a friend who asked me what I thought of his post. I felt and still feel that he asked some really good questions and I really, truly felt, and still do, that he needed to enter into a discussion about the questions he asked, since he obviously does not understand Christian teachings. Its doubtful that he understands his own JW teaching either since it didn't take me long to discover that his questions came directly from one of his JW pamphlets, “ Should You Believe in the Trinity? ”, but I was hoping that he really wanted to discuss the topics he raised. Sorry, that was just a little sarcastic because JW's usually don't discuss or debate anything, and he was certainly no exception since all he did was delete my comments. Most unfortunate, but not unexpected. W...

Devotion to God

This was originally posted on my Yahoo! 360 blog in early Oct 2006. The world is such a fickle place. Every one wants their history rewritten. This past Thursday, the "Pope quoted from a book recounting a conversation between 14th-century Byzantine Christian Emperor Manuel Paleologos II and a Persian scholar on the truths of Christianity and Islam." ( Foxnews.com ) The quote of the Emperor was as follows: 'Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."' Now the Muslim world expects the Pope to apologize for a truthful statement. It would seem that the Muslim world wants Islam to be known as a peaceful religion, but they just can't stop reacting violently to anything major or minor some one says to prove that they might just be non-violent. In the words of Fox News the world sits in fear that Muslims may break out in another...

Its My world and I can do what I want to!

This was originally posted in my Yahoo! 360 blog, Oct 7, 2006: Fortunately there doesn't seem to be any horrible world events to report on right now, just the normal carnage in Iraq (the daily unending Muslim Islamo-fascist terrorists murdering innocent Muslim men, women and children – and any American they can find), political scandals in the West (like Rep Foley chasing young teenage boys), and the normal raping and murdering that goes on all over the world. Everybody wants to exercise power over everyone else. Everybody wants to be in charge, but no one really knows what to do or how to act once they get in charge. If the terrorists win in Iraq, what kind of a government do you think they will establish? Do you think they've even thought about it yet? Or is killing the only thing they really know how to do? Have you ever thought about why its so hard to lead? Most of the time the wrong people want to lead, and the right people don't want anything to do with leadership. W...
