Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • The Thorny Issue

    http://www.gaychurch.org/Gay_and_Christian_YES/calling_the_rainbow_nation_home/6_gac_celibacy.htm Sometimes things surprise me. This article more than any I’ve read in a long time. Especially as I found it while looking for “Bible passages to sum up a person” for the up coming funeral. I’m sure there’s some random Fundie rant in that one somewhere. There are two things I’d like the reader…

  • Porn 1, God 0

    http://labonnemusique.com/blog/2007/08/20/porn-1-god-0/ I felt I had to respond, and in case my comment doesn’t make it through the moderation queue: First, a quick intro: I am a Christian, worse than that, I’m training to be a Vicar. Got that? Ready? good. I feel I really need to stand up for Faiths in general. Not just mine,…

  • Yoga “Unchristian”

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/09/06/nippers_yoga_ban/ You what? Okay, it does show a suprising level of knowledge about the origins of Yoga, and the way it was originally used to focus the mind for a spirituality that isn’t Christianity, but… Did I miss something? It’s not like they were attempting to practice Satanism! I can understand that the Church hall…

  • FSM

    Now, here’s an interesting link:http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=43272&in_page_id=2 I think this requires more thorough discussion. I need to turn this blog into the place it should be. It’s a far better way to spend my time. SK

  • Because I’m not this good

    http://mil-millington.com/ There are times when you come accross things that are just pure genious. This is it. Of course I’m adding to the hundreds of links this man already has. I don’t care. I simply don’t. This is a work of genious. A laugh. I aspire to greatness like this. I think I should really…

  • Decedant Barbarians

    America may be unique in being a country which has leapt from barbarism to decadence without touching civilization. — John O’Hara

  • YAQ

    We may not be able to persuade Hindus that Jesus and not Vishnu should govern their spiritual horizon, nor Moslems that Lord Buddha is at the center of their spiritual universe, nor Hebrews that Mohammed is a major prohpet, nor Christians that Shinto best expresses their spiritual concerns, to say nothing of the fact that…

  • Rest In Peace, Deita

    At roughly 1 am, on September the 3rd, my Grandfather slipped peacefully from this world. I had seen him earlier that day, and had managed to read to him from the Bible. It appears, from what I could gather, that his favourite book of the bible is Proverbs. Though unfortunately, I never found out which…

  • Romans 13:8

    This line in the bible matches my Philosophy. Love each other. I’ll try to type it up here when I get a chance. SK

  • Romans 12

    A quick note as a personal reminder (because I left my notebook behind). Romans 12 == be excellent to each other. Well worth reading. SK

  • And yet more sillyness

    http://www.michaelkelly.fsnet.co.uk/moses.htm A list of laws from the Old Testament. It’s a wonderful take from the outside looking in. I suppose I should compose an answer, explain what most of the laws mean, but at 11:30, I’m just far too tired. SK

  • YAQ

    … The things love can drive a man to — the ecstasies, the the miseries, the broken rules, the desperate chances, the glorious failures and the glorious victories. — McCoy, “Requiem for Methuselah”, stardate 5843.7

  • True Christian?

    This Test is designed to catch out “true christians”, those that I refert to as Fundies. Those that pick and choose bits of the bible, and hold only those bits up as true. Read it all, my friends. All the way to the bottom, then react. SK

Got any book recommendations?
