Large number of links piling up, will try to get them posted tomorrow afternoon.
Since I'll be away from the keyboard all weekend starting Thursday night I need to put enough stuff online for all you Friday link junkies to make up for missing last Friday and not posting this Friday.

Sounds like a challenge. :)

"Members of the Mennonite tradition oppose saying oaths to any entity but God, he said. Followers believe in trying to stay apart from the secular world and feel religion is sullied when mixed with government.
"To me, it's heresy," he said. "Government is about keeping civil order. Church is about loving and worshiping God. You don't mix . . . loving God because of free choice with something that's about duty and where you were born.""

Isn't it nice to find that religion doesn't have to equal crazy.
