Random Stuff for Thursday 9/9/10

Here are a few things that caught my eye today; a lot of them thanks to Phil Johnson...

1. We were a couple of days away from the Koran burning event at a church up in Gainesville.  I'm glad he decided to change his mind, but after listening telling the world that he was not going to do it because the imam of the mosque had decided to move the Ground Zero Muslim center.  Hmm, I don't think so.  Anyway, it's amazing how this thing has taken off, and the spot light is on this person, who definitely needs to be prayed for in a way that he will think about the wisdom of doing this.  This is from the Smoking Gun, and another one titled "On Burning Religious Books" by Tony Reinke, with six points to consider on burning the books, using Acts 19:11-20 as a biblical reference.
2. One more article on the Quran, "Original Quran-Burning Took Place in the Mid-Seventh Century".
3. Rodney King, Police Beating Victim, to Marry Juror Who Awarded Him $3.8 Million.  This is just bizarre.
4. I like this one, and Phil Johnson's tweet, "This article is deeply disturbing, but at least these Malthusian morons are taking their ilk out of the gene pool", from The Weekly Standard, "There Goes the Neighborhood".
5. This was interesting
   
   
   
6. You would think that our leaders in Washington in their desire to move more towards the socialist model, which is being rejected in Europe, and now El Presidente, Fidel Castor, says, big government doesn't work.  Really??
