    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I got my "long easy run" done but forgot about the easy part, pushed a little harder than I intended, and accidentally shaved a chunk off one of my personal bests. Essentially I noticed my first couple of miles were faster than I thought, and what I've done so far has improved my fitness more...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Lazy morning so far. I don't know why but last night's sleep was disturbed and restless. Today's workout is listed as a "long easy run". It's barely above freezing outside so I'm not sure what I'll end up doing. This time of year maybe wasn't the smartest to sign up for a training plan. It would...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    You do know that endlessly quoting Scripture that isn't relevant to a point doesn't make the point, right? Your argument appears to be little more than "Assume this is true, quote loads of unrelated Scripture, therefore this is true". If the points you are trying to use to support your argument...

    Do you think God approves of Christian discussion forums?

    I'd say that approval or otherwise is based on the content of a specific discussion rather than message boards in general. You can have a deep and meaningful discussion on a forum just as you can have a pointless discussion. It's much like reality - you can have a deep and meaningful discussion...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Frosty today so debating what to do. Today is a rest day on my training plan so I might take a leisurely walk, I might go for a walk in the woods, I might do some more breaking in my house. Or I might do some combination of those things. For now I'm sipping my coffee and contemplating.

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    A lower good? The thing God created is a lower good? You keep endlessly making the same assertions. Endlessly repeating something doesn't make it true.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I got my workout in. I'm not sure how my legs kept going for the last part of the speed repeats but I got to the end even if I struggled to maintain the target speed. I wasn't far short, just a couple of seconds per mile slower than my target range. This week's session contained six speed...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Since it's getting colder I decided to shift tack a little, and fill a few holes. I found some more holes where ceiling joists were rested in holes in the brickwork, that let cold air rush down inside the bricks and out through the holes. Essentially what it means is that the insulation between...

    How often do you upgrade your cell phone?

    I had to double-take at a recent ad I saw for a phone. I think it was the latest and greatest Samsung doohickey. It costs $1800. Yes, you read that right. Nearly two thousand dollars for a device they'll expect you to upgrade in a year or two.

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    I think you're stretching pretty wildly there. Nobody is disputing Mary was a virgin at the point Jesus was born but you're pulling bits and pieces from here and there to try and make a point that just doesn't seem to be there. Your Scriptures point to a virgin birth and are silent on the topic...

    The fruitarian (fruit-based) diet

    I love fruit but couldn't imagine eating only fruit. In the summertime here we can get a lot of fresh fruit direct from the farmers, which is great. When they are in season I go through strawberries and raspberries at a tremendous rate. Now apples are in season and my wife and I eat quite a lot...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I took another look at the other side of the house and found that my studs are actually 2x4s but installed perpendicular to what I would expect, so I'll just need to remove them, turn them 90 degrees and reinstall them. That's a hassle, as they have drywall mounted to them. I may yet just add...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    I thought we'd already established that Scripture isn't clear at all on the topic. Nobody here is disputing that Mary was a virgin when Jesus was born. The fact Mary was a virgin at the time Jesus was born doesn't mean she remained a virgin for the rest of her life. You're extrapolating...

    Halloween Debate Thread

    When I lived in the suburbs of the big city it was always nice to see the kids coming to the door while one of the parents would stand on the street a few feet away making sure they were safe. They got to go door-to-door in their costumes collecting candy while an adult watched over them to...

    God did not create sex for pleasure

    It might seem ridiculous to you but it seems perfectly normal to many others. Perhaps your revelation, assuming it was a revelation from God, was intended for you rather than for everybody. You're making assertions here without backing them at all. It's perfectly possible for sexual relations...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Probably going to go for a walk this afternoon when the clouds are supposed to clear. The chance of rain is low according to the forecast but the last time I trusted that I got soaked and frozen because the 2% chance of a sprinkle turned into me getting wet in the cold wind. In the meantime I...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I got my workout in today. The hill repeats are getting easier, so I'm pushing the speed harder. I only have to run up a hill for 15 seconds, which is just as well because I'm getting to a point where I can reach the top of the hill I'm using in around 20 seconds. Soon I'll need a different...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    It's sunny today but chilly. Today's scheduled workout is hill repeats, which is a relatively easy one - the hill running is 15 seconds running uphill at a time. I could really use a bigger hill to work with but it needs to be one that isn't likely to throw in surprises, like someone in a truck...

    God did not create sex for pleasure

    If the sole purpose of sex is to produce children (presumably healthy children are preferable) then about the only thing that matters is good strong genes. In this situation monogamy makes no sense at all. If one purpose of sex is to create deeper intimacy (emotional, spiritual and physical in...
