Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2026-085: Click Bait: Astronomy Quiz

Okay, so I got pulled in.  Jay Leno was doing one of his Man on the Street things.  You know the idea.  He stops a random stranger and asks, “How many toes do you have on your right foot?”  You can see them thinking and they come up with a number like “25”.

I usually finish one of those feeling really smart but I have a question:  How many correct answers were screened out in order to get the entertainment?  Could people really be that ignorant?

My favorite on this series was “What galaxy do we live in?”  When the man only looked puzzled, Leno gave a hint, “It a candy bar.”  To which the man answered, “Mars”.

We will never know the real level of ignorance unless they put out a press release.  Even that could be fake news.

Comments are welcome. Feel free to agree or disagree but keep it clean, courteous and short. I heard some shorthand on a podcast: TLDR, Too long, didn't read.
