A commentor left the following in response to a previous post:
If a Christian is already indoctrinated/socialized to think they know what truth is, why would they magically decide to cross check their religion’s version of reality with other sources?
Does it require “magic” for a religious person to open his/her mind?

longstride: So, when I go on vacation next week, should I “accidentally” mistype my cell phone number for my boss? (via Twitter / longstride)
longstride: @scrowder01: save it. It’s easy to hang in for one more day and it’ll be worth it. (via Twitter / longstride)
longstride: I need more coffee. (via Twitter / longstride)

Where’s the love? →
I’ve been blogging on Wordpress for almost a year now. And I think it’s great. The software is easy to use, the themes are nice, and I’ve got options to upgrade. I appreciate the combination of simple and flexible. But I think there’s one thing lacking: community.
I’m not saying there’s no community here at Wordpress.com. If you visit the support forums, you’ll see some bloggers who hang out...

And I may just get my chance.
My boss is giving me the week off. Hopefully, my wife and I will be able to spend that time on the road. I know I could really use some time away.

Jason Rehmus: @engtech: actually, it’s more of “can I really go away when I’m doing 2 people’s work and I have no backup?” My boss is actually trying … (via Twitter / Jason Rehmus)

I just got a new camera phone. Right now I’m experimenting with all the cool features that allow me to interact with the web. This is way to cool. Or maybe I’m just a geek.
Jason Rehmus: Riding with my wife is pretty cool. (via Twitter / Jason Rehmus)

Jason Rehmus: Rain all week. I didn’t ride my bike in once. I could have but then I might have died. I think I made the right choice. (via Twitter / Jason Rehmus)
Jason Rehmus: Friday is nearing. I wish that meant life was shaping up. Maybe it will. (via Twitter / Jason Rehmus)

In the Jailhouse Now →
This story about prisons in the United States highlights a fundamental flaw in American’s thinking. We have this expectation that society should function in a particular way. It should be peaceful and prosperous. And when someone doesn’t conform to that ideal that person is seen as a problem. The most expeditious method of dealing with them is to get them out of the way. So, rather than giving...

Jason Rehmus: I created a Pandora station based on “Ramblin’ Man” (Allman Brothers). Every song turned out to be a country song. Disappointing. (via Twitter / Jason Rehmus)

5,000 page views →
This blog is about to hit a milestone. Sometime this week it will have 5,000 page views. I know that’s not a lot. There are plenty of other sites who receive that many views every day. Or maybe even every hour. But it’s exciting for me. Especially since I barely put any effort into it at all.
For example, my first post was almost a year ago. 5,000 views in one year is miniscule! However, ...

“Both males and females, older and younger, appeared to enjoy riding fast”
– “Most riders interviewed did not appear to regard riding at very high speeds - (for example) more than double the speed limit - as intrinsically unsafe. “The general consensus seemed to be that safe high-speed riding involved planning the time and place so as to minimise risk.” Speeding is...
Belief is a choice. →
Some of us believe in God. Others of us do not. That belief is developed as we grow up, attend church or don’t.
But do we have a choice beyond this “indoctrination?” Are we able to move past the teachings of our youth and think for ourselves?
