Oh my heaven

Tori Spelling becomes an ordained minister? Wow. I guess if you have enough time on your hands and you want to deconstruct the very idea of marriage, then I guess you can do that type of thing. She must have gotten her certification from the Church of Secular Humanism because what she did was definitely not Christian. Bad enough that secular organizations pass themselves off as religious, or even Christian, and perform gay marriages. It's worse when people who come from a Christian denomination accept even the idea of gay marriage. Absolutely no thought behind that conclusion. You'd have to eradicate all sense of good reason and knowledge of the Bible and mindlessly go along with the culture to say that gay marriage is acceptable. To say that it is acceptable in the Bible is beyond mindlessness, it's irrational and dangerous.

Flimsy

Sources are important to lend your argument or assertion some credibility. Blogs don't necessarily need them since most bloggers write opinion pieces rather than academic articles. But for those who write professionally, say in the world of journalism and the more serious bloggers, it is vital they use sources that are reliable and truly credible. I hate it when I read articles in newspapers that use other newspapers as their source. Whatever statement the writer tried to prove was buttressed by twigs.

The same is true in the blogosphere. I was ambivalent in using references, citations, or sources in my articles. Sometimes I thought "what's the point?" Other times I thought, "hey, maybe this will lend my articles a little more credibility." I've seen articles where the blogger used references, but the references were not credible at all. Sorry, I don't have a source for that. Trust me, though, I've read several. I may add some examples in the future if the need arises. But I've decided to add sources when I can in future articles. I may want to publish a few outside of this blog.

Live Dearth

"Hartwig Volz, a geophysicist with RWE Research Lab in Germany, questioned the merit of the climate projections coming from the U.N.-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The IPCC climate projections have fueled worldwide support for the Kyoto Protocol, which aims to restrict the greenhouse gases thought to cause global warming.
Volz noted that IPCC does not even call the climate models "predictions" and instead refers to them as "projections" or "story lines." Volz said the projections might be more aptly termed "fairy tales."

Scientists Debunk 'Fairy Tale' of 'Global Warming' by Marc Morano, CNSNews.com Wednesday, May 15, 2002

Al Gore is a self-deluded propagandist.

Also, this is one article among many written by scientists who let the evidence speak for itself.

One thing is sure about global warming: we are not causing it and we cannot control it, that is, if it's actually happening at all. To understand what is going on depends on a person's worldview and their understanding of science.

Al Gore is my sheperd
He is only aware of what he wants
He makes me lie down on park benches outside his mansion
He leads me beside the polluted water of his strip mine
He restores my doubt in brain dead politicians
He leads me in the path of Kyoto for his legacy sake
His lies make children sleepless
Though I walk dark in my house, his three are lit like Vegas
Surely his lust for power will follow me all the days of my life
And I will see votes held to the light on thanksgiving forever
