| Religious Books -- Not Fundamentalist! |
|
The Fundamentalist Xtians should not be allowed to hijack the language of Christianity. They are at least as much heretics to Christianity as the Arians and Gnostics of early Christian days.
Biblical inerrancy is not possible.
The books both above and below show the limitations of language and the impossibility of Biblical Inerrancy.
How can language be misused? Using General Semantics, this book was Written to explain Nazi propaganda and still used as a textbook

This book explains why the above books on Christian Fundamentalism are politically important in America today.
Modern Society measures risk & predicts possible futures. The book below is a higly readable history of insurance, statistics and modern financial instruments.
Compare this to religion, in which it is presumed that the perfect society was known in the past and all that is necessary to do is to return to that perfect society.
Fascinating, highly readable and fun book on modern mathematics and its limitations. If you are interested in ideas, this is your book!
This is a collection of Hofstader's Scientific American articles. Again, a very fascinationg and highly readable book, requiring no mathematical background. (Buy it used - it is one of the books that will keep disappearing.)
Older, very fascinating book on mathematical ideas. Did you know there are three kinds of infinity?

| Sen. Cornyn supports Rove statements |
On June 23, 2005 I sent the following letter to Senators John Cornyn and Kay Baily Hutchinson - Letter to Sens Cornyn and Hutchinson. On June 30th I got the following reply from Sen. Cornyn:
Dear Mr. Xxxxxxx:
Thank you for contacting me about recent comments by White House advisor Karl Rove. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this matter.
As you know, Mr. Rove's speech addressed the disparate approaches to prosecuting the War on Terror. In responding to the events of September 11, 2001, some groups urged restraint and disagreed with the decision to use military force in Afghanistan, preferring instead to rely on international law to indict terrorists. I supported President Bush's approach that America must aggressively marshal all of its available resources—diplomatic, law enforcement, intelligence, economic, mlitary—to wage a War on Terror and the extremist ideology of hatred. And I concur with his recent remarks observing the one-year anniversary of the transfer of Iraqi sovereignty reminding us that “we either will deal with terrorism and extremism abroad, or we deal with it when it comes to us.”
Today, we are striving to replace terrorism, despotism, and oppression with freedom, and we will fight the enemies of freedom wherever necessary. As chairman of the Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I am working with the President and my congressional colleagues to secure the safety of our nation and our citizens abroad against the threat of terrorism.
I appreciate having the opportunity to represent the interests of Texans in the United States Senate. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.
Sincerely,
JOHN CORNYN
United States Senator

In other words, Sen. Cornyn agrees with and supports what Karl Rove stated. |
