The shocking truth about Mitt Romney

February 20th, 2010 by Vader

He’s not just a Mormon. He’s a Vulcan.

I wanted to Photoshop Romney doing the Vulcan salute, but I lack the skillz.

Chinese cyber attacks

War by other means.

I can’t say enough about this threat. From my perspective at Death Star, Inc., this is just the tip of the iceberg.

How much to caulk a home?

February 18th, 2010 by Vader

When the government pays for it: $78,000.

Materials and labor: $4,255

The rest pays for the bureaucrats.

Death Star Inc. has the kind of waste one would expect of a government bureaucracy, and I’ll happily admit I wonder sometimes how I can justify my salary. But, Holy Palpatine, that’s an impressive overhead. Most impressive.

Karen Armstrong on Religion and Violence

February 17th, 2010 by Bruce Nielson

Just another interesting quote, also from the Karen Armstrong interview on Speaking of Faith.

It’s not that religion has sparked these traditions, it’s rather that violence has become endemic in a region and religion has got sucked into that vortex. The Arab Israeli conflict began on both sides as a secular conflict. Zionism was originally a secular movement, a secular movement — a secular revolution — against religious judaism and the PLO was essentially secular liberation ideology. The lesson is, let’s settle disuptes while we can while they’re still secular…

Mormons as Modalists

February 17th, 2010 by Bruce Nielson

My most recent post on M* is Mormons as Modalists. Here is a preview:

An interesting fact of Divine Investiture is that it makes Mormons “Modalists,” after a fashion.

Here I pause to the storm of disaffected Mormon and anti-Mormon protest. “No, Mormons aren’t Modalists! They are the opposite of Modalists! They are Freakin’ Tritheists!”

I also pause to let the Believing Mormons protest (assuming they’ve even heard of Modalism before). “No! I am not a Modalist! That’s… a heresy! It’s worse than… than… the Trinity Doctrine!
