I am now occasionally posting over at Coping in a Technological World so just a warning there may be some cross-posting occurring going forward though I will refrain this time.
It is a great blog, full of all sorts of useful tips, so check it out sometime.

A common objection to belief in the God of the Bible is that a good, kind, and loving deity would never command the wholesale slaughter of nations. In the tradition of his popular Is God a Moral Monster?, Paul Copan teams up with Matthew Flannagan to tackle some of the most confusing and uncomfortable passages of Scripture. Together they help the Christian and nonbeliever alike understand the biblical, theological, philosophical, and ethical implications of Old Testament warfare passages.
Today's New Atheists proclaim themselves our culture's party of reason. It is a claim they cannot sustain. Reason is the New Atheists' weakness, not their strength and in fact, the Christian faith is a far better place to look for True Reason. Making their case accessible to the first-time inquirer as well as the serious student, this top-flight team of writers presents a sound defense and a strong introduction to the true reason uniquely found in Christianity.
The book begins by examining foundational philosophical approaches to the Bible as well as the methodological challenges those philosophies create for interpreting the Bible. It then addresses textual and historical challenges and how to deal with them. Finally it looks at ethical, scientific, and theological challenges demonstrating the Bible's moral integrity in relationship to contemporary moral emphases.
Many philosophers have considered the strengths and weaknesses of a virtue-centered approach to moral theory. Much less attention has been given to how such an approach bears on issues in applied ethics. The essays in this volume apply a virtue-centered perspective to a variety of contemporary moral issues.
The challenge of a seemingly genocidal God who commands ruthless warfare has bewildered Bible readers for generations. A range of expert contributors engage in a multidisciplinary approach that considers this issue from a variety of perspectives: biblical, ethical, philosophical and theological.
The nineteen essays here raise classical philosophical questions in fresh ways, address contemporary challenges for the church, and will deepen the thinking of the next generation of apologists. Packed with dynamic topical discussions and informed by the latest scholarship.
While New Atheists like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and others proclaim loudly their rationality, clear thinking, and incontrovertible scientific arguments, others are beginning to wonder how genuinely rational they are. Have they proved anything? Have they argued convincingly? Have they pinpointed any real challenges to the credibility of Christian faith?
What is not to like about firefox?
Here are a couple of benefits.
I know there are a lot of benefits to FireFox but I don’t like how it makes webpages look, particularly the fonts.
It sort of things the letters and makes them look rough instead of the much smoother appearance they have in Explorer. It is irritating on the eyes and grates me.
Originally I thought the problem was just how FireFox displayed on my computer but having borrowed a few friends computers of late who use FireFox the problem is identical on theirs.
FireFox might have additional features and all that but as I don’t use it I am not aware of what I am missing and Explorer meets my needs and makes the pages look nicer so I feel no compelling urge to change.
Hey all i was just wondering if you were interested in watching the new saw movie? I just watched it here for free and it was prty damn amazing
quality for free! http://tinyurl.com/NewSawMovie
So if you havent seen this movie then check it out here! Also please dont share this link too much outside of this forum as it will probably die then.
How about security? IE is terrible on that front … believe me … you can get virus using IE just by loading a malicious website.
And Firefox has got ad-ons for just about anything.
