Sodomites! Sodomites! Fighting for their equal rights! Can they wed? Now they can Even though it's man to man Look out, here come the Sodomites! * * * Meh, it's a work in progress.

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 KJV This is to be the first in a series of posts critical of dispensationalism, primarily of the Mid-Acts variety, but the critiques by and large hold true across nearly all dispensational models. It is important to state...

Feeling snappish. While it could seem that I have an ax to grind against Mid-Acts Dispensationalism, I don't. I wish I could still believe in the neatly-wrapped truth-claims it presents. Being able to separate which doctrines to follow from those safe to ignore is as inviting as the apple...

Tomorrow I leave for Mankato, KS, a smallish town in northern Kansas where my father-in-law grew up and met his future wife. On October 5 this year, my mother-in-law died of cancer. She was 59. She was something of a loopy soul. She was diabetic, and when her sugar would get too low, she would...

Well, I found out what was going on with RIFT. I knew servers were migrating, what I didn't understand was my server, Shatterbone, was one of those being phased out. Berrachla now has a comfy little home on the Wolfsbane shard. Meanwhile, I played enough of Star Wars The Old Republic to wonder...

So I've downloaded Star Wars: The Old Republic. Apparently, they've added starfighter dog-fighting to the game since I played it last, which I felt was sorely missing from an otherwise-excellent game. It's taking its sweet time installing, though. Hope I'm not eligible for the Senior Slam at...

The powers-that-be over at Trion apparently had a big server migration or some such of RIFT servers, so I'm a gamer without a game tonight. I'll be really upset if my level 46 High Elf Warrior gets deleted. Listening to broken by Nine Inch Nails. Trent Reznor had a lot of rage back then. The...

I have mild bipolar disorder (bipolar II). I was first diagnosed about five years ago. Nothing really to be medicated over--at least, I seem to be getting on okay without meds--but my swings are pretty deeply felt sometimes. Saturday night was me in manic top form. When I'm up, God is on His...

"Sooner or later I rub everybody the wrong way." --Jack Burton, Big Trouble in Little China Going incommunicado for a while, Constant Reader. Happy Trails!

After a rousing interaction with meshak, I am off to play some RIFT. You know, I shouldn't actively wish for a person's demise, but is it wrong of me to recognize that the world would be better off without them? I wish there were RIFT novels. WoW has novels. I doubt the novels feel much like...

I just noticed an ad for Blizzard's World of Warcraft MMORPG on the TOL home page. The ads here seem more-or-less geared towards me--I have to applaud the cookie-tracking software behind that--so I wasn't surprised. Blizzard's enticement to return to their virtual world of Azeroth is that it...

Well, as seems to be the usual case, interactions on TOL make me want to go kill virtual entities in a computerized fantasy setting.

Well, I'm going to wrap up my Monday evening--after having done my best to alienate friends--by playing RIFT. If you play, I'm on the Shatterbone Shard (server), I'm a Guardian, and my name is Berrachla. (I play a female elf warrior.) Later, chumps.

Taking a break from debate for a while. I go all tangential on some issues, until I start espousing things I'm not sure I even believe, just to see how they hold up when exposed to reason. Will return to check messages and chit chat, but I'm hanging up the gloves for now.

Is the Marvel Universe one of the superuniverses? 'Cos if so, I need to find a way there to take out Deadpool before he makes his way here to wipe out our race, whom he calls "the Progenitors". I'm a big Deadpool fan and all, but I don't want him killing me.

It's 2010. People are just as intent on calling this a new decade as they were calling 2000 the Millennium, even though there was no year zero and the tenth year had to have completed before ten years had passed. I'm being pedantic, I know. Observances of having been involved, more or less...

Is it really all that hard? All I really want from the detracting Protestant is an answer to a simple question. It's a question that can be asked in different ways, but most recently I phrased it like this: A dear friend of mine at this site, Adambassador (formerly truthman), said something...

I'm a bit past starting to get more than a little concerned. :confused:
