Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: An article in Christianity
Today argues that the
Star of Bethlehem was a comet.
Recently, the President of Liberty University, Jerry Falwell, jr., urged LU students to carry guns, and be prepared to use them, in case the campus were
to be invaded by terrorists. John Piper has posted a detailed,
scripture-based response, stating, basically, that that's the wrong
attitude for a Christian.
Health: (If you are a fashion model, anyway.) National Public Radio reports that the
fashion industry may be going to require that models not be walking skeletons -- really. There have been a few deaths among them, and the
super-skinny models are probably inducing anorexia in girls.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight analyzes Republican support
for Presidential candidates as correlated with the education of those Republicans, both so far for the 2016 race, and for the 2012 race.
Romney was strongly supported by Republicans with college degrees.
The Difference Between differentiates
between Marxism and Socialism.
FiveThirtyEight also analyzes, by state, preference
for saying "Happy Holidays" vs. "Merry Christmas."
NPR reports on the young
Donald Trump, especially in military school.
Science: Christianity Today-related
publication, Behemoth, on virgin
births. (In animals, not in Bethlehem.)
