I am a scripting language connoisseur, regular expression aficionado, network geek, general lover of Linux and a frequent contributor to open source software. I transitioned to programming from other work because I was too busy automating my own work environment to actually do the other work. I have a hobby interest in cartography. For more see my personal site. Most importantly, my life is defined by the grace of God given to men through Jesus Christ. It is my ambition that everything I do would reflect His glory and point people towards Him.

Atheism is the default position. Isn't the burden of proof on the Christian to assert that God exists? @Sklivvz: Then what you hear Christians say all the time is a bunch of baloney! The only reason he would not show himself it's that it would utterly destroy us to behold him. And yet even with that seemingly insurmountable limitation he found a way to show himself. Christ is the image of the invisible God and we beheld him! (Colossians 1 & John 1) Don't ever believe someone who says God is hiding himself, that is not the Christian Gospel! |

Is rock music sinful / immoral? This doesn't explain the inconsistency mentioned by the OP in comments about the bias between rock and other genres which I could argue espouse worse teachings. Would you say that's just an ignorance issue or is there some specific root here somewhere? |

How do Christians understand the omniscience of God in relation to the Uncertainty Principle? I don't think that is a fair generalization of Christianity. I for one do believe in it in the same way I believe in gravity: it is an observation of the way things work in the created universe. My "believing in gravity" helps me considerably in my practical interactions with it. The uncertainty principle is no different. What I do not believe is that God is a part of His created universe and thus bound by it's "laws" -- laws that I believe He created and upholds in so far as that is His will. Thus I think the scope of the principle (however true for humans) cannot and does not apply to God. |

What is “dominion theology”? The link you posted answers your last question in the first sentence. Could you re-work this question to focus in on something specific? The history, beliefs and spread of something is too broad a scope for a question. |

How do Christians understand the omniscience of God in relation to the Uncertainty Principle? @AdamRedwine: Logic is not the same thing as the laws of physics. Yes, I believe God is and always will be logically consistent. In fact I believe logic itself presupposes and depends on an orderly universe. Also you said yourself that the principle in question is derived from assumptions made with regard to the structure of nature. This is is also a kind of presuppositional logic that we also use, but with different assumptions to seed the pot. |

Does the Bible itself give us clues about which parts to interpret literally and which figuratively? I edited your title because at first it sounded like a duplicate, but the body of your question actually had something different. What does it mean to comment on scripture with scripture? |

What is the origin of the Evil Eye in Christianity? @Flimzy: No. A little earthly prudence is not at all the same thing as hedging your spiritual bets! |

If I call myself a Christian, does this mean I'm a Christian? I don't know of any tradition or faith self-identifying itself as Christian that does not include a concept of salvation. Also on a site with QnA about Christianity, what the word definition means to the rest of the world is practically irrelevant, any on topic discussion here is going to some some variant of an internal definition. |

“AD & BC” vs “CE & BCE” It's not absurd at all, it's a pretty universal trend. The U.S. situation is just a case in point. Besides we all pretty much agree here on what we prefer to use in the context of Christianity. |
