Apple's itunes now sells music videos for $1.99

And you can watch them on your new ipod with video capabilities. But don't buy them! Videos use to be available to watch for free on the itunes website. Now you can only watch a short sample before paying to download the whole thing. That really sucks. Music Videos are advertisments for the musicians that are selling music. It is ridiculous to ask me for $1.99 so you can advertise your product to me.

I won't pay for it. You won't advertise to me. And then I won't buy your product. Now go home and cry on your ex-supermodel wife's shoulder. Bad! Bad rock star!

Every church is liturgical

Baptize your babies

The following was lifted from a blog quoting Doug Wilson. The argument from silence is VERY strong.

"The question for our baptistic brethren is this. Are you prepared to maintain that an infant brought to your congregation (formally and covenantally excluded) is in the same position as an infant brought to a believing synagogue in Jerusalem in AD 52? Not only would the believing synagogue not exclude such an infant, I believe that they would have difficulty even comprehending the concept of excluding the infants. And if there was such a generation-long uproar over the inclusion of the Gentiles, what would the commotion have been if the apostles really were teaching the Jews that not only must you start admitting the Gentile adults, but you must start excluding your own children? I have trouble believing that this would not have caused the Mother of all Theological Controversies. But there is not a word about such a controversy in the New Testament".
