D+D Questions

The Questions
1. How important should Paul be to Christianity?
2. Outside of scripture what can we know about God? How?
3. How important is the environment in God’s eyes?
4. Does God select specific people out to do his will? If so are these people different from the rest of the populace?
5. What would you like the afterlife to be like (both heaven and hell)? What do you think they are actually like?
6. Is Pascal right, do all men seek happiness? If so what does that imply about man’s relation to God?

M+M goes anti-bush

It's an interesting video. Mind you KRS-One and the like have been doing it for years, but still, better late than never. Check it out.

Last night

I hung out playing risk with Matt, Hatch, Daniel, and the Falks (Prof. and his wife) until 1 AM. It was good times. This morning I get to Cultural History of the Enlightenment, and we talk about the Sexual History of the Enlightenment. Interesting stuff. Various social contract theorists (all of them pretty much German) kept looking for the base connectedness of humans, ends up being sex, and therefor the thing that could tear appart society was Masterbation. That was because they figured semen was basicly excess brain/spinal fluid, and people that masterbated were more or less draining their reason out of themselves, thus threatening the very reasoned structure of society. Odd class, odd time period.
This leads into another thought. I think I know the real reason the Misouri synod exists, because germans are too patriarchal, and Scandinavians are too matriarchal for the two groups to mix. The ethos of Scandinavia is one of acceptance of everyone (that's why ELCA has open communion) and a motherly kind of love. The Misouri Synod is steeped in German patriachy, ridged. I don't know, I'll perhaps come back to the argument sometime.
Peace,

All Hallows Eve

I'm going to be going Trick or Canning with the College Bible Study group. We will be collecting canned food from the homeless. It should be a good time, I'm going as an experiment gone wrong, another guy is going as a robot, and a third as our mad scientist. Should be fun to see what everyone else goes as.
Peace,
Chris

My new favorite comic: thatguy

A guy in my creative writing class does an online comic, thatguy. Good times, he harkens back to Bill Waterson a lot. Check it out if you get a chance.
