Sunspots 760

I know. It's Christmas, but old habits are hard to break. Hence this post. Thank God for becoming incarnate!


Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:



Christianity: Relevant on the real war on Christmas.

(And politics) A Christianity Today opinion piece calls for President Trump to be removed from office, by impeachment or at the ballot box, mostly because of his lack of moral character: "His Twitter feed alone—with its habitual string of mischaracterizations, lies, and slanders—is a near perfect example of a human being who is morally lost and confused."

Christianity Today has published another opinion, supporting the first, and also denying that it is a left-wing organization, or pro-abortion, or that it doesn't take the Bible seriously. Quite the contrary. The main problem, it says, is not President Trump. "He is not the sickness. He is a symptom of a sickness that began before him, which is the hyper-politicization of the American church. This is a danger for all of us, wherever we fall on the political spectrum. Jesus said we should give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s. With profound love and respect, we ask our brothers and sisters in Christ to consider whether they have given to Caesar what belongs only to God: their unconditional loyalty."
 
Computing: Gizmodo reports on the 50 worst (i. e., most easily discovered and used for bad things) passwords


Education: Listverse tells us about ten words that almost got spelled and/or pronounced differently.

(or something) The 100 most popular US baby names, in 2019.
Finance: (and politics) The tax cuts of 2 years ago haven't done what they were promised to do, according to an NPR report.

History: (and politics) NPR discusses how we came to be such a partisan nation.

Humor: (or something) NPR also reports that there aren't enough Santas in Germany.


Politics: (And Christianity) Another article, a thoughtful one, on what Christians should think about Donald Trump.
