[...] The film asserts, without any actual evidence, that the Medieval Warm Period was indeed warmer than today. For the explanation of that assumption and its refutation, go here: http://circleh.wordpress.com/2008/05/26/debunking-the-mwp-myth/ [...]

Comment on A fake expert vs real ones on global warming by Holly

Well, Dale, I have to say that suggesting that global warming is a “hoax” (as Judy said in one of her comments on the C2NN story you linked to) is, in my opinion, like saying that the earth is flat. LOL And you’re right about “weather” and “climate” not being interchangeable. As I mentioned in one of your earlier posts, I believe that what we call global warming is a cyclical event; however, I also stated that we’re speeding up that process with our continued use (and abuse) of fossil fuels and other harmful things. In short, global warming is real, and we’re making it worse than it should be. Just my two cents. ::shrug::

Comment on Do NOT beat your kids! by Henric C. Jensen

I would like to correct one little misconception - I did not write the blog-entry Blog: Does the Bible justify Child Abuse? a good friend, an Evangelical Lutheran, did. I simply got his permission and posted it unabridged on my Blog.

However - I agree with him in his assertions and his analysis of the text in the Hebrew Bible - one of the few instances that I have come across a Xian who actually bother to check what the true custodians of Torah say about this.

Henry Gordon is correct - Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) is not speaking about using a physical implement to “discipline” our children - Bava Batra 21 a in the Babylonian Talmud:

“Rav said to Rav Samuel bar Shilat: If you hit a child, strike him only with a shoestring.”

This is the Jewish Position on the matter of child abuse through caning, flogging and generally beating our children as “discipline”.

Now, Xians may have another view, but they cannot truthfully say that the Hebrew Bible endorses physical child abuse (and any physical “discipline” is abuse), for a myriad of reasons, but the most primal is the fact that the Jews have the right of interpretation of their Scriptures, just a the Xians have the right of interpretation when it comes to the Xian Scriptures.

The Xians may borrow, steal, kidnap and hi-jack our Sacred Texts, but we have to remember that this is exactly what they have done. Which basically invalidates any interpretation that does not concur with the Jewish understanding of the Hebrew Scriptures.

Morning, Dale. Just thought you might be interested in visiting my main journal. I did something I’ve never done, and I thought you might be interested in hearing it. Have a great day.

Great article, Dale. Nice use of hypothetical experiments, too. I believe global warming is a real and serious issue; scientists have come to understand that this is a cyclical event, but what makes the problem so urgent is that humans are increasing the speed at which this natural event occurs by continuing to use things like fossil fuels. The ongoing pollution of our atmosphere, alone - which is tearing holes in the ozone layer - is proof of this. What really scares me, though, is that whatever governments do now to reduce or halt the sources of these pollutions is going to be too little, too late…

Yes, that’s true, Dale; I agree people have definitely been deliberately dumbed-down. It’s like the government has been on some weird kind of slow brainwashing agenda, and the expected results are only showing up now, when the people’s resistance is needed the most. Isn’t it mind-numbing to realize just how much the government gets away with when they make it look like something that threatens the people’s security and safety? ::sighing:: So sad…

LOL Oh, boy, did you say a mouthful there, Dale - and I don’t mean that as an insult, either. I mean that the association between religion and “faith” is such a huge can of worms, at times…

In a completely off-topic manner, can I add you to my blogroll?
