In God We Trust… To See Our Enemy

runwolf13 | January 21, 2010

There is currently a growing controversy surrounding the acquisition of high quality military rifle sights for the Army and Marines.  It seems the manufacturer, Trijion, has since it’s earliest days, included a biblical verse in the serial number of their products.  The verse, inscribed in what “ABC News” refers to as “code” is a sort [...]

The Genius that was Sinclair

Russell | December 15, 2009

“Consider Christmas—could Satan in his most malignant mood have devised a worse combination of graft plus bunkum than the system whereby several hundred million people get a billion or so gifts for which they have no use, and some thousands of shop clerks die of exhaustion while selling them, and every other child in the [...]

A Horrifically Bad Idea

Where’s the “Mission Accomplished” banner, Mr. President?

The World is Going to Hell in a Hand-basket!

runwolf13 | November 17, 2009

I posted recently on the combination of Twitter and 24/7 news adding to the feeling of desperation in the world.  A wise commenter posted that it isn’t that the world is getting worse, we’re just hearing about it all the time.  I couldn’t agree more.  And I have an example to prove the point.

Get Out Of The Bedroom

runwolf13 | November 16, 2009

I read this story at AL.com and, while I’m not surprised, it really upset me.  It is just another example of the state demanding access to the most private aspects of our lives.
While I encourage you to go read the story for yourself, the gist of the story is pretty straight forward. It seems Alabama [...]

Twitter and Desperation Don’t Mix

runwolf13 | November 13, 2009

I’m a geek, but I’ve never claimed to be a genius.  I have plenty of friends who rank up there, but I’m not one of them.  One of the smarter of the bunch (not counting my fellow geeks here at Geek Palaver, of course) is my blogging friend Sarah Lena of  the blog, The Anvil [...]

“The Lord struck the child”

Russell | November 8, 2009

2 Samuel 12:15 tells the story of how God responded to David’s adultery and murder of Uriah. He doesn’t take David’s life. No, instead God strikes the child.
It’s late, so I’m not exactly sure what to say about this other than if this doesn’t convince you that scripture isn’t inerrant, nothing will.
