Can This Condom Keep You From Being Raped? « TheGloss

What does it say about men that women have to go to the extreme of  wearing a female condom that cuts into a man when he forces himself on her?  It's a shame!  I hate it.  I mean "No" should be good enough. a woamn has the right to be able to say "No" and that should be respected.

Richard Dawkins vs. The Pope | True Freethinker

Mariano has posted a link to an article about Richard Dawkins calling for an investigation in order to determine how much the Pope knew about the flood of sexual misconduct of Roman catholic priests. I haven't got a problem with that. but I've got to wonder why Richard Dawkins is outraged. I mean is it on;y wrong when clergy do it? Mariano said:

Now, is the outrage and call for arrest really coming from the very same Richard Dawkins who argues that some are merely “gentle pedophiles” and that too much is made of some cases of pedophilia??

I agree with Mariano. I hate double standards. Raping children is wrong no matter who does it and under all circumstances.

New Season, New Blood, New Warriors

Okay, I have found out when the next season of Deadliest Warrior starts - Tuesday, April 20, 2010 and I can't wait. I know the show has got some flack for not being historical or scientific "enough" but I like it. The history presented agrees with other sources I have learned and to me the most questionable science is how the computer program that is used to simulate the fights seems a little vague and hand wavy but I still can't wait to see the next shows.

YouTube - The Authenticity of the Bible - Debate

This was really interesting. This was an three-on-three discussion. Dr. Jamal Badawi, Mr. Hamza Abdul Malik, Dr. Hussein Morsi argued against the authenticity of the Bible. Dr. Gleason Archer, Dr. Robert Douglas, Mr. Keith Smith argued for the authenticity of the Bible. I think that the debate was weighted towards the Muslims but the Christians on the panel did a great job responding in most respects. I really liked this debate because when most Christian opponents bring up "problems" in the Bible, these things are almost never addressed. In this debate there were some responses. I would have liked to have seen more interaction between the two sides. One thing that came up for me is why the Muslim's on the panel's double standard? I mean why is it okay to accuse Christians of monkeying around with the Bible and putting words in Jesus' mouth that He never said yet deny the possibility of the same thing with Muhammad and the Qur'an? I will go as far as saying that Muslims can make the same claim about the Qur'an as I do as the Bible: That we know exactly what the Bible and the Qur'an was meant to say. That being given, which one is the Word of God. They conflict. They both can't be completely true. You have to either accept one or deny both as the Word of God. As for me, I believe the Bible is the Word of God because it corresponds with reality better. I say this because the Bible and History say that Jesus was crucified and died but the Qur'an says He wasn't. What?  That does not add up.

Confident Christianity: The Merits of Debate

Christian Apologist Mary Jo Sharp, who has a couple of good successful debates behind her, has written a great post about what debate is and it's place in apologetics and ministry. It's a good article. I agree with her.

YouTube - Jesus Walks on Water - Anime Jesus

Here is an interesting video I found on YouTube. An animation of Jesus walking on water using a Japanese animated (Anime) style. So why did Jesus walk on water? Was He showing off? Was He just trying to get to the boat?  Jesus was validating his deity. Job 9:8 says:

He [God] alone stretches out the heavens
       and treads on the waves of the sea.

You can read the accounts of Jesus walking on water at the following links:

Matthew 14:22-36
Mark 6:45-56
John 6:16-24
