Fish Slapping Links

Dadmanly disects an LATimes Op-Ed. Perhaps "disects" is too kind a word - perhaps "destroys, mutiliates, and otherwise does what the military does to enemies" would be a better description.

Bad trend:
As marriage with children becomes an exception rather than the norm, social scientists say it is also becoming the self-selected province of the college-educated and the affluent. The working class and the poor, meanwhile, increasingly steer away from marriage, while living together and bearing children out of wedlock.
and yet the same story reports:
Among its many benefits, marriage raises the earnings of men and motivates them to work more hours. It also reduces by two-thirds the likelihood that a family will live in poverty, researchers have learned.
Here's what I'm wondering - Where does the church fit into this picture. Church people are, I am sure, more likely to marry. Has church also become the provence of the wealthy? There's a mission!

I see, we're not stupid, we just can't help ourselves. The problem with science studying religion is that it MUST presume that the religion is entirely naturalistic in order to employ the scientific method. Therefore, science will never be able to understand religion.

Spy movie reality.

They found it walking through the parking lot.
