I know this is fanboyism, but much of it really is true. I'm constantly amazed why people put up with what they do on Windows. While a lot of the points in the post linked to above are made up for the point of humour, there are numerous truths behind them which are worth dwelling upon:

"[New Testament] scholarship is sometimes overimpressed with its own judgments about what Paul could, or (especially) could not have said or done."  "One can be sure, for example, that if we did not have 1 Corinthians, one of the "assured results" of NT scholarship would be that Paul and his churches new nothing of the Eucharist.  Indeed, but for the abuses in the church in Corinth, one can only imagine what other assured results based on silence there might be." -- Gordon D. Fee, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, a Good News Commentary, ed. W....

OK, i'm going to put this out there just in case anyone read my last post.  I won't be voting Labor in any way, due to their move to decriminalise abortion.  For more info, see the Family First preferences news release.

I was recently pointed to this blog entry by James Garth, which sums up my political views better than i've been able to manage for the past few years.  When it comes to election time, i struggle to find anyone to whom i am ready to entrust my vote.

"Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probably reason why so few engage in it."
-- Henry Ford, 1929 (quoted in Susan Schaeffer Macaulay, "How to be your own selfish pig", Chariot Books, 1982, 15).
