Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: I have re-done a blog post on "Lying,
deceit and dishonesty in the Bible."
Relevant Magazine has an article on "What's the Big Deal with Porn?"
Computing: Wired reports on a conference
about some of the moral challenges posed by the increasing use of robots,
including drones. One of the more amazing ideas was to provide pedophiles with child robots, sort of like we provide some drug addicts with a
substitute. It was pointed out that this possibility is a potential moral quagmire.
Science: National Public Radio
reports on a study that indicates that our
friends are more genetically like us than the population at large is.
Wired reports that many large
mammals in zoos are given prozac, or similar drugs.

Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.

I have written an e-book, Does the Bible Really Say That?, which is free to anyone. To download that book, in several formats, go here.
