Profile

Name:Daniel
Home: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
About Me: I used to believe that evolution was reasonable, that homosexuality was genetic, and that people became Christians because they couldn't deal with the 'reality' that this life was all there was. I used to believe, that if there was a heaven - I could get there by being good - and I used to think I was more or less a good person. I was wrong on all counts. One day I finally had my eyes opened and I saw that I was not going to go to heaven, but that I was certainly going to suffer the wrath of God for all my sin. I saw myself as a treasonous rebel at heart - I hated God for creating me just to send me to Hell - and I was wretched beyond my own comprehension. Into this spiritual vacuum Jesus Christ came and he opened my understanding - delivering me from God's wrath into God's grace. I was "saved" as an adult, and now my life is hid in Christ. I am by no means sinless, but by God's grace I am a repenting believer - a born again Christian.

The Buzz

Daniel's posts are almost always pastoral and God centered. I appreciate and am challenged by them frequently. He has a great sense of humor as well.
- Marc Heinrich

His posts are either funny or challenging. He is very friendly and nice.
- Rose Cole

[He has] good posts, both the serious like this one, and the humorous like yesterday. [He is] the reason that I have restrained myself from making Canadian jokes in my posts.
- C-Train

This post contains nothing that is of any use to me. What were you thinking? Anyway, it's probably the best I've read all day.
- David Kjos

Daniel, nicely done and much more original than Frank the Turk.
- Jonathan Moorhead

There are some people who are smart, deep, or funny. There are not very many people that are all 3. Daniel is one of those people. His opinion, insight and humor have kept me coming back to his blog since I first visited earlier this year.

Worth your time...

You should go here and watch this video. It is a brief interview with Melanie Phillips. I could try and sell you on what she has to say, but really, I think if you give it a listen you will be glad you did. She is able to articulate something quite important regarding the pendulum effect and freedom of speech.

Let me know what you think.

Who decides what is hate speech, that is the danger...

One step closer to us as the enemy, IMO...

There certainly is a danger of going too far - but there is another danger in not going far enough - a danger which is currently a reality in the US. No?

It's a danger across the world.

This kind of mindset is gonig to be a danger to ALL religions, including, and proven to be, most peaceful religion Christianity.

I can see this comming about at some point, and then setting up the front for the one world religion. Which would make sense right? EVERYONE worship this religion or die, therefore we have peace. If everyone is forced to comply on the same terms... then there should be no problem because they all agree.

Or that would be the mindset anyway.
