mather God?

Check out (and contribute to!?) the online, editable, book (‘Not Only A Father‘) by Tim Bulkeley about gender language and God.

Yes – editable.

This is a new kind of book. A book you discuss with others, and with the author, as you read. It may even be edited and rewritten as a result of your comments.

postflow

I incessantly think and type in footnotese.1  I constantly use parentheses2 to put thoughts within thoughts within thoughts.

tweaking

I’ve been getting the site back to something of the look it had on the old Atahualpa version, and adding little bits and pieces.  Comments/suggestions welcome.

cash for repentance

metanoia (Grk μετανοια) means literally “after-thought” or a change of mind or repentance.

abortion poem

I’m prolife, and firmly so, but I’m also pro support of women in real and really desperate and fragile situations.  (hat tip – PZ Meyers)

miracles

Some scattered, quick thoughts about miracles, in passing reflection (all I’ve got time for at the moment) on some recent posts by Damian and Glenn.

I, too, am sceptical (US friends, this is the NZ spelling of skeptical) of most miracle reports I hear.  Wait, no, I’m actually sceptical of all miracle reports I hear.  Not because I think ‘miracles . . . → Read More: miracles

eavesdropping

One of my favourite blogs I follow is ‘Just Thomism‘ by James Chastek (who has no idea who I am, I presume, apart from the odd comment here/there).
