My Bike Ride to Work

Technically, I suppose these are ordered to fit my ride HOME, since I took them on the way home, but hey. Close enough.

The bike ride really is awesome though. Almost exactly 10km; about 90% of it is trail. Going up the hill just before I get to work kinda sucks, but thankfully there is a shower at work. Also, when I head home I have hit 60 km/h going down it. Click here or the pic below to see the whole album.

Religious Discussion

Okay, so I've been terrible at updating lately. Sorry, but sometimes you get what you pay for. :)

Anyway, I was thinking about ways to make religious discussion more productive, and had one idea: Most discussions tend to focus on practical issues or logical inconsistencies that arise from the acceptance of a particular belief system. Instead, I would like to try starting as fundamentally as possible. Questions like "How well can we know anything?" and "What makes a belief system better than another, and should objectivity matter?" might be useful.

There's a decent chance that it will just make people defensive about the fact that they haven't thought about those things, but you never know.

Anyway, if you want to discuss such things, especially if you are religious, please let me know so I can test this idea.
