America has been made safer today thanks to the valiant efforts of the Transportation Safety Officers at LAX airport. It turns out that today’s permutation of the ever-changing FAA security regulations say that liquids have to be in containers holding 3.4 ounces or less.

My belief in the gods is based largely on two things: 1. I find them compelling enough to believe in, and 2. I have experienced their presence, existence, and sometimes even immanence. Not so with Athena. Of all of the major Hellenic gods, Athena has just never seemed that real to me. [...]

The question of whether Mormons can be considered Christian is fairly central to interfaith dialogue, and is significant enough to have garnered national attention during the 2008 presidential campaign. It comes up every now and then on Tim’s most excellent blog, and as an ex-Mormon non-Christian who is nevertheless widely read and confident in [...]

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
