Conversation Among Friends

While there are some interesting claims about planetary destruction with the LHC, I think the most amazing thing about the new collider (to start operation in August '08) is that it will produce 15 petabytes of data/year!!

On Sin

Christ: "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication . . . murder . . . and suchlike. And concerning these I warn you, they who do such things will not attain the Kingdom of God" (Galatians 5:19-21).

JM & PM,

I have been reading a book written by a theologian.  (I know, augh, it's pretty good anyway.)

The author points out that one gap between Protestants and Catholics is the concept of a sacrament.
