blogging straight and true since 2005
"I shall here write my thoughts without order, and not perhaps in unintentional confusion; that is true order, which will always indicate my object by its very disorder. I should do too much honour to my subject, if I treated it with order, since I want to show that it is incapable of it" (Pascal, Pensees 373).

"The heritage of values which has been received and handed down is always challenged...To challenge does not necessarily mean to destroy or reject a priori, but above all to put these values to the test in one's own life, and through this existential verification to make them more real, relevant and personal, distinguishing the valid elements in the tradition from false and erroneous ones, or from obsolete forms which can be usefully replaced by others more suited to the times" (John Paul II, Centesimus Annus).
"If there were no obscurity, man would not be sensible of his corruption; if there were no light, man would not hope for a remedy. Thus, it is not only fair, but advantageous to us, that God be partly hidden and partly revealed; since it is equally dangerous to man to know God without knowing his own wretchedness, and to know his own wretchedness without knowing God" (Pascal, Pensees 686).
Cryptography is the study of means of converting information from comprehensible form into an incomprehensible format--the art of encryption. In the past, cryptography helped ensure secrecy in important communications, such as those of spies.
Icon (n): a graphic symbol that denotes a program or a command or a data file or a concept in a graphical user interface; a visual representation of an object or scene or person or abstraction produced on a surface; a religious image on a small panel--venerated in the Eastern Church.
If I could through myself / Set your spirit free / I'd lead your heart away / See you break, break away / Into the light / And to the day.

cmon u got to be kidding me. 1st of all i would like to thank you for being the voice of secularism on this blog. 2nd its not good to judge something by taking a quick glance at it. have you seen a U2 concert, didn't think so. U2 is most likely better than any band you listen to. Its music speaks to you, some other bands do it too but a well known one is U2

Matt, by simply making the statement that someone is being intolerant you are yourself being intolerant.
Anyway back to the topic of the picture.
U2 is far greater then the Beatles were.
@Mukiruh
Not that I disagree with Muki...I understand what he is trying to say. However, one can be tolerant while knowing that another's actions are wrong and pointing them out. Your mother tolerates your procrastination (in some cases) but points out to you that procrastination is not in your best interest and will hurt you in the long run. She does not take action (necessarily) to prevent you from procrastinating, but allows you to learn this truth the hard way so that it sticks in your mind and you do not repeat your mistake. Someone is not being intolerant simply by pointing out that another's actions are intolerant. He can tolerate another's intolerant actions while telling him that they are just that. Your statmemt, therefore, is false.
I understand what you are trying to say, Muki, but I think that the distinction is important. There is a big difference between toleration and indifference. Tolerance requires one to take the position that an action is wrong but to tolerate it. Indifference (modern tolerance) is to take no position but rather to state that all positions are correct. It is (obviously) the more dangerous of the two. Just somethin' to contemplate ;)

Ok lets give another example Ora.
Person 1: Homosexuality is wrong.
Person 2: Well your just saying that because you are intolerant. You are intolerant because you are Catholic.
Oh and yes. I am well versed in definitions of intolerance. Which was i speaking to? Which was i mocking?
Great post though.
