Fear…

Frankenstein MonsterI know a lot of people that have Hoplophobia and Ballistophobia. Sometimes I think those same people have Eleutherophobia.

I have a friend that seems to have Aphenphosmphobia (or Haphephobia or Haptephobia).

Me? I guess I have a pretty good case of Agateophobia. I also have a recurring theme in many of my dreams thatDr. Frankenstein seems to indicate a slight case of Psellismophobia. I may also have Eremophobia or Monophobia (or both). As long as I can remember I have had a fear of false imprisonment, but I couldn’t locate the phobia for that.

What are you afraid of?

Acting Bunnies…

It's A Wonderful Life

I was sent a link today for Angry Alien Productions‘ 30-Second Bunnies Theatre version of It’s A Wonderful Life. If you visit the main Angry Alien Production website use caution as there are some bunny versions that are rather foul! Still, It’s A Wonderful Life is well worth a look.

Proactive Not Reactive…

Anthony Martin sent me a link about the Evangelical Theological Society adopting the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy — courtesy of the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry.

While I am glad to see this happen, I am concerned that it will not accomplish what needs to be accomplished, namely, the dismissal of Clark Pinnock and John Sanders from the ETS. According to the article, Pinnock and Sanders have both agreed to stand by the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy. Apparently they feel that agreeing with the statement will in no way prevent them from continuing to espouse their positive view of Open Theism.

Please keep in mind that the discussion here is about the ETS and not the Church at large. Of course I consider Pinnock and Sanders brothers in Christ, however I find their idea of a reactive God repulsive.

Note: My opinions are not necessarily the same as Anthony Martin’s. He simply provided me with the link.

Armed Citizen #6…

Ruger GP100

When a Harlem thug saw Margaret Johnson, a grandmother who has been confined to a wheelchair since a 2001 injury, he thought he had an easy target. The friendly Johnson said hello to the man, but according to police, he responded by grabbing her around the neck in an attempt to steal her necklace. But he had underestimated Johnson, an NRA member and accomplished target shooter who was on her way to the gun range. She reached for her registered pistol and shot her assailant, sending him running. Police caught up with Johnson’s assailant half a block away.
