Heh, I knew that blog title would catch your attention.

This is a random blog post with a few bits and bobs that caught my attention today.

I enjoyed taking the philosophy experiment exploring the ‘The Trolley Problem’ called Should You Kill the Fat Man? Thought you might find it interesting.

Very encouraging and uplifting post by Beyond Blue over on Beliefnet on serious mental health problems, St. Therese of Lisieux and roses from Heaven.

Fascinating – and a little scary – article on the nature of evil and neuroscience, written by an agnostic and well worth a read.

Here’s a quote I enjoyed. Well worth reading the whole piece:

It is not by chance that in the old popular Mexican language, a mad person was called “bandito,” that is, “blessed”; […] without the full use of reasoning, he was unable to commit sin and was, therefore, destined to eternal life.

Here’s another quote I enjoyed taken from the Catechisms:

Every action of yours, every thought, should be those of one who expects to die before the day is out. Death would have no great terrors for you if you had a quiet conscience. . . . Then why not keep clear of sin instead of running away from death? If you aren’t fit to face death today, it’s very unlikely you will be tomorrow.

And Jim West says it as it is regarding heresy.

That’s it.
