Aside:

I’ve read the Bible through six times in two different translations. It gave me great comfort in one of the worst times of my life, now some decades ago. I can assure you that Jesus said nothing about shooting Commies–or anyone else, for that matter–in the face.

If you are looking for a readable English translation of the Bible, I recommend the Jerusalem Bible. It’s the only contemporary translation I’ve encountered that combines readability with an elegance of language that can stand with the KJV.

I fear, though, that my faith has been shaken severely, indeed, almost destroyed, by those Americans who most loudly and publicly proclaim themselves to be “Christian”; if they be “Christian,” Christian morality necessitates that I repudiate them, and their beliefs.

Indeed, the more I see of the world, the more I think that Durkheim was right. God did not create man. Man created God.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
