Many Christians perceive atheists as spending too much energy protesting trivial issues. Are they right? In some ways, I think this may be a valid point. Are we picking the right battles to fight, or are we wasting valuable resources (e.g, time, energy, money, etc.) on relatively less important issues? Of course, answering this question would require us to have more agreement than we do over which

In what is labelled as a match worthy of the final itself, Spanish giant Barcelona will take on English juggernaut Manchester United in the Champions League on Wednesday night at the Camp Nou.Although United hold a slight advantage in this match, you can never bet against Barca. Both teams have been unbeaten in the competition so far, and this match will be a showdown.Let's have a look at the key battles on-field that might decide the match's outcome. 1. Lilian Thuram/Gabriel Milito vs. Wayne Rooney/Carlos Tevez:Barcelona will be without their skipper, Puyol, and hence will be vulnerable at the back. However with the experience Thuram brings, there will be stability at the back, at least on paper.Gabriel Milito has been great for the last two seasons and has filled Rafael Marquez's shoes v

By Aweys Yusuf and Abdi Sheikh, MOGADISHU, Reuters (Apr 21 2008) - The death-toll from battles between Islamist-led insurgents and allied Ethiopian-Somali troops rose to 85 on Monday, leaving corpses on the streets and deepening the Horn of Africa nation's humanitarian crisis. After mortars and machine-gun fire rocked Mogadishu over the weekend in the worst fighting for months, Islamist fighters seized the southern coastal town of Guda, killing four Somali soldiers and wounding at least seven more, locals said. "The town is under their control at the moment," politician Omar Abdullahi Farole told Reuters from the area.That attack at dawn on Monday added to at least 81 people dead in Mogadishu over the weekend.

FIGHTING BATTLES...IGNORING WARS by Philip V. Brennan We make a serious mistake when we fail to recognize that the situations in Iraq and Afghanistan and Lebanon are merely part of a worldwide war. We cannot prevail in any of these conflicts as long as we insist on treating them as isolated incidents. We are engaged in combat with a well financed, determined enemy with forces in every corner of the globe that will not cease their attacks until we drive them off the face of the earth. Should Israel cease to exist, and were the U.S. to pull out of Iraq in the face of a civil war, the world war would not end. It will go on until either the West defeats it or it defeats the West If we begin to recognize that we are in a real war and fighting for our very lives, and that this war will

In one of the most hostile lands on the planet, an ancient people called the Israelites forged an army and carved out an empire. Their ancient military exploits are described in one of history's most famous religious texts; the old testament of the Bible. But by reading between the religious lines, ancient military historians unlock the soldier's secrets of the bible by examining the weapons, the strategies; and the commanders, some of whom are unlikely warriors, like Abraham, Moses, and Deborah. Bible Battles is a two hour hi-definition special that explores the biblical world from a military perspective from the time of Abraham, approximately 1500 BC, until David's ascension to the throne, around 1000 BC. Using graphic battle re-creations choreographed by a Hollywood sword master, Bible

Philip Cash: one to watchThe Prodrift Irish Series will in 2008 become the first professional drift championship to run top 32 twin battles after the format was successfully debuted at the one-off K-Sport Cup event at Rosegreen on Sunday. Under the new system, qualifying now takes place on a Saturday with the top 32 going head-to-head on Sunday.With three runs for each entrant, the qualifying runs became quite tedious at times in 2007 due to the huge entry lists and the new system is a great idea to tighten up the day's action and mantain the interest of the crowd. Although some of the big names were absent on Sunday, there were still some fantastically close twin battles, with semi-pro driver Philip Cash making a big impression as he made it all the way to the semi-finals. The event was won by Alan Lenihan, who finally took the richly deserved event victory he's threatened all year. Overall, Irish drifting is looking in great shape heading into the winter, but the spectre of the pos

by: Todd Spangler Associated Press writerBRADFORD, Pa. -- The Zippo lighter is easily recognizable: a rectangular metal shell with beveled edges and a gently curved flip- top.That simple design is just as easy to copy, and Zippo Manufacturing Co., which has been making the popular lighters for more than 70 years, wants that to stop.The lighter's shape now registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the company has been moving against makers of imitations and pressing retailers to get the knockoffs off the shelves. The company is telling manufacturers and vendors of copycat products to stop by June 30 or face legal action."If you see that shape, you say, 'Zippo,' " said Jeff Duke, in- house legal counsel for the company founded by George D.

Last time I spoke about Wind and Water Puzzle Battles was when I learned that Yuan Works, the development team behind the GP2X game, had reached an agreement with Redspotgames to release the title on the Dreamcast sometime in 2008. Though I haven't heard too much about the project from Redspotgames, I did recently receive a quick e-mail from Yuan Works in regards to a PC port of their GP2X puzzler that was being planned for a release late December. Curious, I checked out the PC portion of the website to see the details of this version of Wind and Water Puzzle Battles. For gamers who missed out on the great pre-order bonus for the GP2X version of the game, Yuan Works is once again offering the personalized sprites to those who pre-order the game. Like the GP2X offer, Yuan Works will custom make a sprite for use in the game based on an image you send them. They have a page up displaying their custom works for GP2X pre-orders here, so you can see how their previous custom efforts tu

Britney Spears's Little Sis Fights Her Battles Life is bad when your baby sister needs to defend you against random crazy strangers. Britney Spears and visiting sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, tried to go out for a quick sushi bite in Beverly Glen when they were swarmed by paparazzi. An irate woman began to scream and yell that Britney's travels continued to cause way too much of a ruckus in the town. "Nobody wants you in this neighborhood!," she shouted. "You're making the neighborhood unsafe!" The photographers started defending Britney (hilarious) and then big, bad Jamie Lynn stepped up and screamed, "Then move the f**k outta the neighborhood!," right into the woman's face! The girls then hurried into the eatery for some chow, while the crazy woman continued to rant about celebrities. Check out the video that TMZ has of the whole thing going down. Jamie Lynn may want to reconsider going the teen star route and look into becoming a bodyguard. Girl's got skills!

The sometimes humorous back and forth between two emcees. Battling used to be a show of lyrical skill. To out right embarrass your opponent, or just to have a bit of fun ribbing a friend. Gone are the days of Common’s ” The B&$%& in You”(one of the greatest duss records of all time). Now you only hear lame battle tracks that lack skill, lack imagination, lack anything even resembling quality rhymes. Hit Hop is not dead, but the battle sure is. The Art of Verbal Fisticuffs.
