  • This Film is Not Yet Rated

    I’m currently watching this documentary on IFC called “This Film is Not Yet Rated”. They’re going through and showing all these little tidbits of information like the MPAA is run by mostly unknown people who are stated to have children between the ages of 2 and 19 really have kids who are in their upper…

  • My Swing Vote

    On Theologica, my recent haunt of many a high-octane discussion, there’s a thread regarding Christian voting and the abortion issue. The question is if the issue is so central that it will decide your vote. Well me, most definitely. I will always vote against anyone who not only supports abortion but also plans to expand…

  • Words That Never Prove Your Point

Worst I even became part of this theological discussion site that is so absurdly addicting that I…

  • From The Lips of Babies

    "Sy, climb up because this may be your last chance." "Huh? Why is it his last chance?" The little girl that who had just apparated didn’t seem at all concerned with asking me a question on a topic that didn’t concern her but I felt I should explain anyway. "The thing is that this place…

  • Based on a True Story

    A good introduction is like a good pair of shoes: when it fits it’ll go a long way. On the big screen, right after the title credits you see that line and automatically you start expecting historical fiction.
