I mean, historians believe in the existence of a historical Jesus. So, why does "belief" seem to be the outward profession we often look to when separating the religious from the not? I think it's another flaw of Americanized Christianity that reads scripture in translated English, and without a 1st...

Today is the premiere of the new ABC television series, FlashForward. ABC has built this show up to be its LOST replacement, and because of that, some friends and I have already created a podcast dedicated to this show. Our theory is that most TV show podcasts come out a...

For all you teachers out there, Teachers Recess is a must-visit new resource. Now, teachers from all across the country have a place where they share ideas, curriculum and encouragement. The site is quite new. So, it'll take a few dozen youngens to get on board and get this thing...

How many times have you been in a near-miss car accident where you say "If I had been there two seconds earlier, I would have been killed!!!" Now, how many times have you been killed in a car accident?

Have you ever seen Dateline NBC do their "To Catch a Predator" sting operations? They instigate setups to try and catch people soliciting minors for sex over the Internet. It's riveting television. But, I just thought of something in terms of the legality of the arrests. These men (they're always...
