This Blog Is A Month Old!

Well, I have done it. I have managed to keep this blog going for a full month. While I am pretty pleased with the blog so far, I welcome your suggestions for improvement. Be brutally honest. I can take it.

I have been pleased by the steady increase in my readership. If you like this blog, please spread the word!. In any event, thanks for reading and commenting from time to time. Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed or email feed. Both can be found to the left.

A special thanks to Nicholas Knisely, Greg Patterson, Ted Prezelski, Sam Coppersmith, the Mad Priest, Father Richard and Andrew Gerns for giving this young blog such a boost. As a result, I have an electic readership of Anglicans from England, Australia, and the United States, and political junkies predominately from Arizona.

In any event, thanks for reading and commenting from time to time. Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed or email feed. Both can be found to the left.

The chance to sit with a thoughtful person (you) and eavesdrop on his (your) conversations with other thoughtful and thought-provoking writers has been a great favor. Your blog has introduced me to some new perspectives and opened new directions to pursue on my own journey. Thank you for choosing to make your practice public.

Thirdly, It was ordained for the mutual society, help, and comfort, that the one ought to have of the other, both in prosperity and adversity. How do these three concerns relate to the prospect of gay marriage? The third priority insists that marriage is designed to bring human beings into loving and supportive relationships.

Update : Welcome Digg visitors. For more of my posts on Science (including my Science and Faith series), go here .Interested in my take on atheism? Then try here . For my comments about the experience of being dugg, so here . Original Post : Eric Michael Johnson is a primatologist and endocrinologist completing a PhD at Duke University, and he blogs at the Primate Diaries . He has two recent posts that are worth reading. First, some provocative humor: Fundamentalists: believe 2+2 =5 because It Is Written. Somewhere. They have a lot of trouble on their tax returns. "Moderate" believers: live their lives on the basis that 2+2=4. but go regularly to church to be told that 2+2 once made 5, or will one day make 5, or in a very real and spiritual sense should make 5. "Moderate" atheists: know that 2+2 =4 but think it impolite to say so too loudly as people who think 2+2=5 might be offended. "Militant" atheists: "Oh for pity's sake. HERE. Two pebbles...
