Logical Conclusions: Temple Prostitution

Leave a Comment I do not normally link to blog posts from others but this time I simply have to make an exception. I first found this post linked at Chris Roseborough’s blog Extreme Theology, which he had linked to the original article. The basic premise here follows the logical conclusion that if liberal churches can accept homosexuality as a viable part of Christianity and not call it sin, why not do the same thing with temple prostitution? I think it is a brilliant piece and absolutely worth reading. If you have any comments, please leave so that we can have a discussion.
Obama and the Nobel Prize
So I wanted to come out with a more timely response to this announcement but I simply did not have time over the weekend and was trying to process this very strange choice. After doing some thinking and research, all I can say is theat the committee biffed it. In 37 weeks in office President Obama has not actually accomplished anything in the way of peace or major foreign policy that could result in peace. He has not signed any major treaties, hosted a peace conference, or made new allies. There simply are no major accomplishments to point to.
What he has done, as this article points out, is make some changes to our foreign policy and apologize for prior US actions (neither of which he needs to do). He has embarrassed the office of President by showing weakness before countries that want to destroy us and our way of life.
Of course I do not think we should really be surprised. Why should we take serious an award given to Al Gore for making a movie about the environment that he later admitted used junk science?
