Notes on the Journey. Random observations about life at the intersection of faith, culture, and personal beliefs and practice. Tuesday, September 11, 2012. Sin and sinner - how are we to deal with them? Were told, Hate the sin, love the sinner. Is it really that easy? And more - is it even possible? Id like to propose that this is misguided teaching, and that from a technical standpoint, its not even possible to divide a person and his or her actions quite so easily. Links to this post.

Notes on the Journey. Random observations about life at the intersection of faith, culture, and personal beliefs and practice. Monday, January 28, 2013. Freedom is not without cost. This truism is more apparent than ever, in the wake of the school shootings at Newtown, and in the reports being issued by some scientific groups.

Notes on the Journey. Random observations about life at the intersection of faith, culture, and personal beliefs and practice. Monday, October 22, 2012. Religious Conservatism and Me. Last week I shared a link. On Facebook about a group of extreme Russian Orthodox believers who see the logo of Apple, the maker of iPhones, iPads, and all things Mac, as blasphemous, insofar as it represents original sin. I posted that I thought that religious conservatives needed to get out more. Links to this post. Fantas...

Notes on the Journey. Random observations about life at the intersection of faith, culture, and personal beliefs and practice. Tuesday, November 12, 2013. Human beings are nasty, dirty animals I wouldnt keep as pets. This was the opinion I heard uttered years ago by a person I love deeply.
