Easier for WBC to make a list of what God -doesn't- hate, right?Anyhow, notice the "unbiased" media covering this sensationalist nonsense (even mentioning BJU gratuitously) instead of true Christianity, but I give them props for mentioning child abuse (this info comes from the "Addicted To Hate" story widely circulated on the web - I encourage anyone who has not read this to look it up and read it). Surely they could have found one Godly pastor - isn't there an FPC in Ireland? - to talk about the true gospel, and gotten a quote. |

"not a bonafide personality test" - it's a test designed to select people who are gullible enough for the Scientology message to appeal to them. The test is used to red-flag any person who fits their profile as a possible convert.If you want to see the test, it's online: http://www.oca.scientology.org/ Download the PDF! (Some day, maybe news sites will get past the print-column mentality and realize you can link to material on the web.) If you read this test, and know anything about psychology at all, it's downright scary. They're trying to identify people with autism spectrum disorders. And loners. And insecure people. It is not simply a bait-and-switch thing, it's targeting certain segments of the population. There are also 200 questions, so it automatically weeds out the tl;dr crowd and selects only those who are serious enough to wade through this long questionnaire. |

So the obvious thing to do when faced with the choice of "accepting those changes or not having a film" is to cave in, compromise, and take the money. Yeah.Let's translate: "I have to open my heart to what the stories are about." This means there were enough zeroes on the check that integrity was beside the point. In a few years, this guy Gresham is going to be sad, because he's going to have compromised everything he stands for and will have nothing to show for it when Hollywood Accounting gets through with these movies and he finds out he will make no money at all because the films will have lost money on paper, even though Hollywood will be having another record-breaking year at the box office. He ought to go back and read about being wise as serpents and harmless as doves. |

You won't steal one from Barnes and Noble!They've started putting anti-theft stickers on their el-cheapo Holman gift & award Bibles. I don't know why, other than people really do steal enough $7 Bibles that it's worth all this theft prevention. (I'd like to know how they steal them. Those Bibles would be hard to hide.) Anyhow, no one has mentioned this change to their employees. It happened last year some time, and the first time I got one of those Bibles with the sticker, it set off the alarm. And the second time. I have gotten to where I show the checkout person the security sticker and ask them to de-activate it while I'm purchasing it. They don't see the sticker, and it doesn't de-activate easily. |
