Want a new Plasma TV for your Super Bowl party? Just go to church and get one free! Kim Riddlebarger details this atrocious practice.
The Pearcey Report reported yesterday the defrocking of R.C. Sproul, Jr. Today they reported Sproul's response.
A few months ago, Living Hope Ministries released their latest documentary: The Bible vs. The Book of Mormon (it can be viewed online in its entirety). FAIR (a Mormon apologetic ministry) has now posted a point-by-point response.
Every kid wants their own Jesus doll right? Well, now you can get yours for only $24.99. Is anyone else disturbed by this?
The January 2006 edition of Countercult Apologetics Journal has finally been posted. In the “Book Reviews” you'll find my review of David Rowe's I Love Mormons.
Update your link lists with the new Mere Orthodoxy blog! Welcome back Matt 
FIDE-O has a wealth of great posts. Check out the straight facts about the John Calvin/ Michael Servetus controversy. Today they posted a helpful breakdown of the different kinds of Calvinists.
PS- I've very disappointed no one answered by question from the last
link list. So again, where did Doc go at the end of Back to the Future
III?

“So again, where did Doc go at the end of Back to the Future III?”
Hmmm…at the very end? I'll take a stab at it…back to the past?

Oh, wait, I take that back. He went to Universal Studios to found the Institute of Future Technology.

Didn't Doc go to fix something Michael J Fox's and the girls kids had done?

Wikipedia makes some interesting comments on this. I agree with it that the Universal ride should not be “taken as canon,” it's an apocryphal narrative. I'm undecided about the animated series, though I lean toward it not counting either. (They can't both be right since they each have Doc ending up in different places).
The entry does make this interesting suggestion: “Doc also builds a new time machine, this time using a steam locomotive and the Brown family take off to visit the future (to get the train hover converted) and then back to 1985 to visit Marty and Jennifer before heading off to times unknown (or possibly outer space).”
“Outer space” is far to vague. We're to believe a brilliant scientist takes his family willy-nilly all over the galaxy? I suppose, ultimately, the more important question is to when does Doc go?
