I'm a hobbyist programmer, part-time sysadmin, and full-time data center automation consulting engineer.

I have experience with myriad editors, shells, and OSes. And, while I'm an ardent emacs user, am pretty much beyond the religious wars of "what's best" when it comes to platform, editor, or toolset: if it works for the problem at hand, and you know it, it's [probably] worthwhile :)

comment How do mainstream Christians handle the Epistle of St. Barnabas' prophecy that Jesus will return in the next 50 years?
@Mawia - Jesus was born in about 4 BC. He was crucified between 30 and 31 AD. 2035, therefore, would be bad math :)

comment When scripture quotes a non-biblical source, without any opposition of the source, does it imply any endorsement?
I had noticed, just added some clarification on my part as to how we were :)

or the devil. I don't see how a quotation can universally imply endorsement. Judas' suicide is recorded - doesn't mean we're supposed to mimic him.

how do you approach people being quoted in the Bible who are in the middle pf plotting against the Lord or His children?

comment What is the biblical basis for the claim that abortion is morally acceptable (when there are no complicating factors)?
@DJClayworth - the linked question, "What is the biblical basis for the claim that abortion is immoral?" and its answers, would disagree with your statement, "normal biblical basis is simply that there is nothing explicit in scripture prohibiting abortion"

comment Is there any connection between minimum age for marriage in Catholic Church and tradition about Mary's age at Annunciation?
We have no real idea how old Mary was when she gave birth - the Bible is silent on that matter

@Caleb - this doesn't completely identify what traditions, nor the biblical support .. whereas the one I linked looks for the biblical basis of the concept
