Can 'wrong' and 'Bible' go together?

I'm intrigued by a particular episcopal priest named John Shelby Spong. He is a liberal believer. I read his article entitled "Resurrection - Myth or Reality." Here is a quote:

"[Church] leaders seem not to recognize that, as modern history has unfolded, the Bible has proven to be wrong many times. People sometimes gasp when they hear that said out loud and in public. The notion of wrongness and the Bible are not normally linked in print, because the church has lived with the illusion of biblical inerrancy for so long."

You can read it here. I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Frizbizzle


Julie and I are having an awesome time playing Ultimate Frisbee this spring/summer! We play with some great folks on what is arguably the greatest Ultimate team in the history of the cosmos, FRIZBIZZLE!

Check out the Teams website, which features many photos taken by yours truly, and was designed by our team captain, coach, and token bearded professor, MJ.

I really like Biking


I've been hitting the trails quite a bit since the weather started looking up. Sometimes I see bikers and talk to people who admit they don't wear a helmet. Besides the knowledge that I have personally known people killed because they weren't wearing their bicycle helmets, I think you have to be intellectually stunted not to wear one. Honestly, anyone who doesn't wear a bicycle helment is just plain dumb. The picture above is the scene of a bicycle accident. The white lump on the ground is someone who felt the nuisance of a cool looking headpiece getting in the way of their hair flapping in the wind was more important then their life.

Here's an interesting story on the subject.

Now seatbelts, that's another story.

Hong Kong Photos....finally


I finally posted all our Hong Kong Photos online here.

We had an awesome time, and have been home for about a month now, but I've been super busy and prone to procrastination.

Nonetheless. Enjoy!

The Love of Jesus

I was perusing the website of a prominent Atheist and noticed just how lovely Christians can be, especially our 'brothers and sisters' to the south.

"From John Doe:

Dawkins, you and your atheist friends cannot win. America WILL become a Christian Republic even if we have to write a whole new constitution. Millions of us are dedicated to this righteous cause. We will suceed. And then we will invade godless countries like "Great" Britain and kill all of your heathens. First we need to take care of things at home and in the Middle East but we will get around to Europe. You Godless freaks will die but then you will roast in hell for infinite time. Goodbye you loser."


This makes me laugh...and cry.
