Heathens, heaven and hell
[The writing of this article owes itself to the inspiring and thought-provoking post, and ensuing comments discussion, The 'Innocent' Heathen? over at Duane's Mind. Be sure to check out the comments related to his post!]
You would agree that all human knowledge is finite – we can’t know everything. (I mean that as a statement – I doubt anyone could say with absolute certainty that this is incorrect.) You would also agree, based on a traditional interpretation of the Bible, that Christianity teaches the following: God is Holy; mankind is sinful; mankind is destined for Hell; God, by His Graciousness, provides a remedy for mankind’s destination; Jesus, alone, is that remedy; those that acknowledge Jesus are redeemed; the redeemed are taken into God’s Holiness in Heaven; those who… Continue reading ...

Conscience is what enables man to rise above being a prisoner of his inclinations … Conscience enables us to go beyond what feels good and to do what is right
Dinesh D’Souza, What’s So Great About Christianity
‘If God says “No”, will I still be happy?’
I saw this question just this morning. I can’t say I know exactly what it is that it’s trying to say, but it did get me thinking a little. (Rare, I know

Worshipping the iPhone 3G
It’s being touted as the Jesus-phone – presumably, as it’s the 2nd gen model and is practically worshipped, this is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Jesus’ second coming. I’m talking about the iPhone 3G, of course!
There is no doubt that there is an air of religious fervour surrounding the impending release of the Apple iPhone 3G. Reading up on various Mac enthusiast websites and forums, there is most definitely a buzzing obsession – not too much disimilar to the opening of Australia’s first Apple owned and run Apple store (which had people queing up 48hrs before the official openening time and attracted not just people from interstate, but international sojourners as well) in George Street, Sydney, last month.
