Debunking Christianity: The Pastor Dave Schmelzer Interview

Pastor Dave Schmelzer interview John Loftus on his podcast. Check it out.

I found that the interview was interesting. I kinda got the following from Loftus conversion story. After being caught in adultery, he decided to check out if Christianity was true and decided that there was no evidence for it according to his studies. I'm not impressed. I can understand how embarrassing and painful it must have been to have your sins unveiled in such a public way. Unfortunately, church folks can  be the most judgmental  and critical, especially of their leaders. Loftus missed a tremendous opportunity. He could have truly known God in a really close way - in the forgiveness of his sin and know God in a deeper way than he had known him. I think that every Christian has had such moment(s) where you have to look at your life, repent, and re-double your efforts to get as close to God as you can.  Seems to me that Loftus attempted to figure out how he could reject Christianity rather than face responsibility for his own sin.

Finally, Someone Has Made a Robot That Can Have Lame Lightsaber Duels for Us - Topless Robot

Okay, this isn't as exciting as watching a huge Jedi/Sith duel but if you user your imagination and fill in the music from the Star Wars sound track and special effects, it's cool.

Today on the Dividing Line: Dr. Michael Brown and A Queer Thing Happened to America

Yesterday, Dr. Michael Brown was a guest on the Dividing Line podcast discussing his book A Queer Thing Happened to America. I highly recommend listening to his discussion with Dr. James White. The discussion is important and something we all have to wrestle with.

Apparently Star Trek Killed Osama Bin Laden - Topless Robot

Osama Bin Laden's death is big new -not just in America but all over the world. Topless Robot got this from TrekMovie.com:

On Thursday, the German news channel N24 was covering the death of Osama bin Laden and how the US Navy's "SEAL Team Six" headed up the mission in Pakistan last Sunday. At one point N24 host Mick Locher showed off what he thought was the official emblem for SEAL Team Six [see above]. Locher even commented (translated from German) on the emblem:

And they also have the 'Team Six,' that carried out the mission. They don't have the skull in their emblem for nothing.

Locher didn't seem to notice (or care) that the skull in question was from a Klingon and included a bolted-on eyepatch. He and N24 also appear undeterred by the emblem's inclusion of a phaser, 3 Klingon bat'leth swords and the word "Maquis." The original Maquis were a French resistance guerrilla group who (ironically) fought against German occupation in World War II. That group inspired the name for the Maquis seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, who fought against Cardassia in former Federation colonies.

I got to admit...it does look like that. I can't tell if there was a mistake made or not but I like the logo.
