		<description><![CDATA[So the other day I was thinking about what I would say if I knew that I could write one letter, or a note, to the whole world, and know that they&#8217;d read it.
Well, there&#8217;s so much that I want to say about all of the important things that make life what it is. Something [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I present a challenge to any Christian who believes that governments have more of a right to use violence than everyday citizens. I want you to point out a verse, somewhere in the New Testament, that gives government an /exclusive/ right that the citizenry don&#8217;t have. Then tell me exactly what that is, from the [...]

The following song by My Chemical Romance is one of my favorites. It&#8217;s about a man who&#8217;s on his deathbed, and is thinking back on his favorite memory, when his father took [...]

I&#8217;m currently reading the book &#8220;Starving Jesus&#8221;, written by the guys at XXXChurch.com. These guys aren&#8217;t afraid of doing the right thing, even if it offends someone, or makes them go &#8220;omgosh! they talked about porn/sex/booze&#8221;. The book has been incredible so far, and the honesty that they write with is simply [...]

If I didn&#8217;t believe Christ was God, I&#8217;d still have Him as my favorite philosopher. The following quotes are great examples of why I love Him so much. Given the context [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I have recently decided to join the &#8220;legislate morality&#8221; camp. I was listening to an audio recording by a pastor of a two-family Bible church, and it just hit me all of the sudden. I believe that we should punish immoral actions, because, well, that&#8217;s just why we have government. To punish sin.
Now, of course, [...]
