Just do it, damnit!

OK, so recently (last month or so), John Piper spoke at a Passion07 conference and said (gasp!) that God “kicks our ass” (link). Soon afterwards, he apologized for it. Man, why did you have to do that, John? Is it really a “bad” word? If you meant “donkey” instead of “butt,” would you have apologized? It’s not about being “hip or cool,” John but about being real. If you really meant “ass,” then say it. God’s not going to kick you or anyone else out of heaven for saying “ass.” Stop trying to bend over backwards for the ultraconservative and take it like a man. Don’t take it up the ass just because some people (probably those not there) got offended. There’s nothing wrong with offending people, especially others who call themselves “Christian.” It keeps them humble.

  • As Amarok 2 gets closer to a release, it is looking better and better. There's a new feature in the works that will give Pandora a good fight: music biases. - #
  • Today, two great things (according to me, at least) have been released: Firefox 3 and Wine 1.0. Nearly everybody should know what Firefox is, however many probably don't know about Wine. It is an Open Source project that works as an abstraction layer so Linux (and other POSIX) users can run Windows programs (such as Photoshop) on Linux without needing to have Windows installed. - #
  • After a long wait, it is official.  I've been accepted to the University of Glasgow's doctoral program in theology.  The term starts in late September, so I'll be moving some time between now and then. - #
  • I found a few problems with my reading lists regarding dates. I've fixed them all so that it is relatively accurate. - #
