ABC News has an interesting article about sex and advertising. It’s more rampant than ever, but advertisers see no reason to stop.
“The rub among the adults is ‘is this good taste?’” said ad executive John Klein. “Given more of a traditional background one would have to say no. But, then, it doesn’t matter anymore.”
That about [...]
As someone who has led worship before, and as someone who has worship on the brain, I found this article to be somewhat interesting. It’s provocative. Some things I agreed with and found insightful, while other things I found highly disagreeable.
Scan the list. Do you agree with anything in particular? Disagree with anything in particular? [...]
After talking about worldy people can’t understand the things of God, this article might not resonate much with anyone. But since Time Magazine seems to have a keen interest in prosperity theology, and since that’s one of my topics this week, I thought I’d give it a plug here.
This article looks at how adherents to [...]
The 2008 political season is in full force, and I thought it would be good to show everyone some resources that will help you as you try to muddle through the sound bites, talking points, mudslinging, and argument that is the hallmark of this season.
Since ZA is all about seeking truth, the first link is [...]
Since I’m an author of a Christian site and I want to be mindful of sensitive believers, I will warn that the links I am putting in are a bit rough, crude, offensive, etc.
But I’m posting a link to this site because I want you to see what American Evangelical Megachurch Christianity looks like to [...]
The purpose of this link is twofold: One, to introduce you to a site that seems pretty legit when it comes to talking about Christian news. Two, to provide an interesting insight into the state of Muslim affairs in America.
First of all, the fact that people want to pull the ad is, to me, nothing [...]
I found this article because a Facebook friend had posted it. I’m generally not that into pulling spiritual stuff out of movies that really don’t have a lot of spiritual intentions, but this was good.
It’s about the latest Batman film and the Joker’s ideology in it. He is whimsical, chaotic, but he has a credo [...]
In the computer age, Killinger argued, religion moved from a belief in doctrines to a quest for self-fulfillment drawing on useful tidbits from an eclectic variety of faith traditions.
“Doctrine isn’t the driving force to many people today” except “to the fundamentalists who insist on it,” Killinger said. “But doctrine is a thing of the past [...]
While I was putting the finishing touches on the article “Concealing Knowledge,” I came across this article, and I thought it was really good. It begins with a reminder that you can’t build a doctrine on one verse, which is why if you read my articles you’ll find that anything I teach with any kind [...]
Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t really like to talk politics in a Christian realm. I really don’t even like arguing politics much anymore, preferring civil discussions and the “agree to disagree” thing.
So I’m not endorsing a candidate here. Truth be told, I don’t know who I will be voting for in the [...]
Okay, so if you’ve heard of the Internet documentary “Zeitgeist,” then the following is definitely for you.
If you haven’t, then you’re like me, but you’ll find this to be a great read anyways. It’s a reminder that sources and be skewed, questionable claims can be taken for granted, and a convincing tone of voice can [...]
At least that’s what this article:

has to say. It’s a lengthy read, but it’s very worthwhile. It talks a lot about the journey of Blaise Pascal, a 17th-century skeptic-turned-believer who was one of the first to look for proofs of God outside of the traditional Renaissance explanations. Here’s a quote by the author that I [...]
