If the media did not constantly tell us we were in a "great" recession, would anyone be able to tell by looking? We're living in an age where poor people have cellphones and cable. Pro sports is spending record amounts on free agents, because they're making record revenues from TV. Since the recession started, not a single sporting event has been canceled because no one could afford it. If it wasn't for the media, I'd say we were in a golden age of crazy prosperity.

So who is Todd Coontz? I've never seen that name before.

Looks like a wannabe prosperity preacher.

Dawkins is "igniting a firestorm" to get attention. The worst thing anyone can do is pay attention to him, since he thrives on it.

The problem with making incendiary comments to get attention is that you have to always top yourself to get attention the next time, and you eventually run out of things to say.

I do not agree with the conclusion of this study that "secret" information is being discovered. The information is being voluntarily revealed in public. No one is being coerced to publicly click these "like" buttons and leave an obvious trail all over the Internet.

Well, if you read the article, you see they paid up-front for their car and house out of a lump sum of money. Not many people will be able to eliminate the two biggest expenses families have. If this family had paid for the car and house on a monthly basis, their expenses would be about the same as any low-income family's expenses. They're not really living on less money, they're just moving the numbers around.

By the way, they also say they use credit cards only for emergencies. Was it really a wise decision to drain their savings to the point they have to rely on credit cards to cover emergency expenses? A home loan, or a car loan, would have significantly lower interest rates than the credit cards.

Almost all English Bibles are printed in China now. Christians boycott anything and everything, but I have never heard a single peep out of anyone about this situation. For the past three or four years, publishers have increased outsourcing Bible printing to China and importing them to the USA.

Why are we supporting China by outsourcing our Bible printing to the country, when it is hostile to Christianity?

I understand secular companies making the business decision to move production to China as their margins are squeezed. But shouldn't Christians have a principled stand with regard to a country that is hostile to Christianity?

This is mind boggling. Charisma magazine and Strang publishing have been spreading and promoting Charismatic insanity for decades. Now they're surprised that it's gone mainstream?

Strang can start by looking in the mirror if they want to "say goodbye to this watered-down, sin-excusing, so-called gospel that offers everything and calls for nothing" - how many retractions have they printed for what they've published in the past? They have a history of publishing anything to make a buck, regardless of what it is.

At least Megan Fox is honestly seeking for something meaningful in her life. She's in a better position than Charisma magazine who has been spreading charismatic teachings for decades and making money off of it.

I was just thinking that what we need is another Bible translation. After all, the market is not yet saturated with them.

Interesting to see how the trend is shaping up where each subculture in Christianity has its own translation. No longer are there "standard" translations like the KJV, NSAB, etc. Now Southern Baptists have one (HCSB), Reformed people have one (ESV), liberals have one (CEB), etc. And the Charismatics will have one. Each group seems to want to capture the Bible dollars of its members and not let those dollars go out to big publishers like HarperCollins. Christians are standardizing on a translation, but each group has its own Bible. Very different than in the past when disparate groups standardized on the same Bible translation.

Ugh. A pop-science report of an announcement of an article that's behind a paywall. We don't really know what this study says, just what a pop-science journalist thinks the article says based on a press release. Without being able to read the actual study, which we can't because it's behind a paywall, we don't know if this third-hand report is correct or not.

I suggest relaxing to some music while we wait for real scientists to debate the merits of this study. Joe Jackson's song "Cancer" comes to mind. ("Everything causes cancer.")

State-sponsored gambling and state-provided public education seem to be a conflict of interest. State-sponsored gambling depends on a population which doesn't know math and how bad a deal lotteries are. State-run education is supposed to teach math, but their funding depends on the "education lottery". If educators teach math, they're working against their own best interests.

The Julian calendar had technical problems that were reformed in the Gregorian calendar. One problem was accounting for extraneous time in leap years, which caused the calendar to "lose time". This eventually caused the Julian calendar to get out of sync with the seasons. By the 16th century, the calendar had to be "patched" by adding a leap week.

(Incidentally, this is why I was incredulous about Harold Camping's date calculations down to a precise day in 2011, since he apparently had no idea that the calendar system had changed in the 16th century and his calculations didn't account for the leap week.)

Intense? Attack? Parents being informed that it's optional for their kids to attend a play is an intense attack? Language means absolutely nothing any longer.

Amity is the only authorized Bible printer for Bibles in the Chinese language. Other companies like RR Donnelly print English Bibles in China for the USA. Amity also prints English Bibles.

Local banks offer better rates and better service on mortgages than the huge national banks.

And yet Christians don't seem to notice or care that just about all Bible printing has been outsourced to China. I don't get it. So much Christian literature is printed in China now that it's hard to even boycott it.

What I don't understand is why the Fed keeps doing what they're doing. They've been doing the same thing since 2001, and we've had the dot com bubble, the housing crisis, and the banking crisis. What they're doing is not working and is making things worse. If the Fed could fix things, then things would have improved long before now, since the Fed has been doing what it is doing over a decade. I think it's time to quit, really, and try something else. Low interest rates are not helping the economy.
