A fragment of a Christian gospel, the word of God, should not be withheld from Christians in order to make money for someone writing a book. This fragment should be shared as widely as possible so that all Christians can benefit from it. There is nothing stopping a scholar from writing a book about the fragment, but keeping part of the word of God secret in order to make money from it is not right.

Occasionally, some information spills out into the public, but what bothers me is the overall lack of accountability of ministries which solicit donations but don't tell the donors where the money goes by providing financial statements.

While "a ray of God's kindness may shine upon them", I don't think a penny of all this extravagant, lavish wealth will get to the poor and unfortunate. This is one case where leadership by example would help. The Pope should stop calling on the rest of us to renounce and sacrifice until he begins doing so himself.

You can't really give kudos to MS for doing this, since they're responsible for IE in the first place. You can't really hand out attaboys for someone helping to fix a disaster that they perpetrated in the first place. IE's bugs and incompatibilities have held back the web for a long, long time now, and it's been a security nightmare. Microsoft has addressed both of these issues with recent versions, however, so they get some credit for that.

Anyone who hasn't used e-Sword ought to check it out, particularly for the integration of the Bible text with study resources like Strong's, Matthew Henry, etc.

What "discrimination" is going on, anyway? America seems to give atheists more than their proportional share of attention, especially with people like Richard Dawkins pushing the atheist agenda in a visible, public manner.
