| Almighty God vs. Generic God
People like Amy sincerely believe they could do a far better job of running the universe than the One who created it. Talk about chutzpah! No human being has the wisdom to determine if a person is fundamentally good or evil for the simple reason that no one knows for certain what�s in a person�s heart! No one can ever truly know a person�s motives. For those who hold to a relativistic worldview, good and evil, ethics and morality are simply cultural inventions and cannot be objectively defined. Liberals perceive the Bible as a book of myths and fables, thus it mustn�t be taken seriously. Those who do take the Bible seriously are considered �unenlighted� -- nothing more than addlepated dunderheads. Unbelievers carp that the Bible should not be the standard by which we judge good and bad. But if not the Bible, then what standard should we use to determine ethics and morality? Consensus opinion? Selwyn Duke makes this astute observation: �If man is the author of what we call right and wrong, if morality is all a matter of opinion, then there is no evil in any real sense.

In an open letter to the school community released late last week, Young said that Newton South's principal, Brian Salzer, installed the cameras after consulting with Newton North principal Jennifer Price. Salzer was attempting to deal with a rash of thefts from a locker room area and repeated vandalism in a bathroom near the school's auditorium, Young wrote.

How many people create videos and post them to u tube vs simply watch. How many create a web site vs simply browse. For a small percentage of people, computers have become a means of creation. For most it is another passive device, just like TV, or books. Of course I am of that much maligned "older" generation.

The term 'couch potato' was coined for a reason. You completely shut down all but a small part of your mind for hours at a time, day after day.
