LARP Your Way to Truth

Last updated on: September 25, 2012 at 10:06 am By Leah Libresco

Over in the Atheist channel, Bob Seidensticker of Cross Examined is experimenting with prayer. He’s signed up for an experiment run by Justin Brierley of the Unbelievable radio show (which you may remember from the time Hemant and I tangled on air). The program is asking for atheists to try praying for at least two to three minutes a day for God to reveal Himself to them (if he exists). After 40 days, the atheists are going to share their...

Catholic Radio Show Seeking Atheist Callers Tonight

Just saw this announcement on Facebook, and I thought some of you might want a heads-up. Tell all your atheists friends they have 2 hours of Catholic Answers Live just for them tonight. Here is a message from host Patrick Coffin: Are you an atheist? How solid is your atheism? Wanna go on live radio to defend your atheist beliefs? Today on Catholic Answers Live, I’m interviewing Catholic apologist Trent Horn in Hour One, and physicist Robert Spitzer, SJ, president of... Read more

In the comment threads for the “Hey! I didn’t say Science Says!” post, there were a couple attempts to come up with metrics to check the impact of changes to marriage law. Some of them are definitely quantifiable (suicide rate, reported domestic abuse) but don’t do a good job capturing the impact of a given marriage schema on the whole population. Those kinds of outcomes are only tracking couples who hit a certain threshhold of dysfunction. It’s like measuring... Read more

I’m still giving you Monday morning costuming updates, so I feel accountable to keep making progress. This week I sewed together the muslin mockup for the corset. Because fit is really important for this kind of bodice, you make a scratch copy of your pattern in muslin, so you don’t waste your good fabric on a first draft. Good seamstresses make later drafts in fabric that more closely resembles what you’re actually using, and insert boning and grommets, so it wears... Read more

— 1 — I’m not going to make you wait til the end for the most glorious link I’ve found recently. Stick around for the rest, sure, but first watch through this video of Flight of the Conchords turning to children for help writing a charity song. — 2 — If you’re visiting from Jen’s blog, I just want to give you a heads-up that two friends and I are selling philosophy t-shirts through Spreadshirt. Right now we’ve got one... Read more

“Hey! I didn’t say ‘Science Says'”

Last updated on: September 19, 2012 at 5:39 pm By Leah Libresco

Helen Rittelmeyer is blogging and writing again. She just contributed to the American Spectator’s Youth Symposium, claiming that relativism is no longer conservatism’s greatest enemy. Let me grab a pull quote. In the last culture war, relativism’s influence was evident in the stock arguments that kept appearing in magazines and op-ed pages: Breaking taboos is valuable for its own sake; people have a right to make their own choices and not be judged for it; what you call a social evil...

Some friends and I were making philosophy jokes, as one does, and somehow a t-shirt sprung into being. This seemed like a crowd that might appreciate a wearable trolleyology joke, so here’s the website where you can get them. And I’ve stuck a bigger image of the design below. And then we had one more idea: Read more

Elliot had a great comment on the sports, courage, and risk discussion, and I wanted to pull it up to the top level in case you aren’t checking the thread. He wrote: So, someone down below suggested that all of this silliness might be chalked up to Leah’s “gnostic tendencies”. I have similar tendencies, though they might be better called “puritan” than “gnostic”. Still, I don’t think either of these is really behind the discussion at hand. The great thing... Read more

A Crafty Weekend

Last updated on: September 17, 2012 at 9:27 am By Leah Libresco

I’m keeping myself on track to finish my Halloween costume by posting updates every Monday. This week I’ve transferred my pattern draft to tracing paper and then used it to cut out the pattern pieces for my muslin mockup. By next week’s update, I’ll have pieced the muslin together and used it to make any corrections to the pattern (and hopefully start cutting the real fabric). How long did all this take? About 125 minutes (the runtime of Captain America). But... Read more

My post on the horrors of football sparked an interesting conversation about courage and character. Forgive me for stitching together conversations and truncating comments, pop over and read the comments in full in the thread. Randy: Men do take risks. Women don’t get why. Liberal do-gooders try to prevent them from taking risks. There is something about facing your fear and coming out victorious that men need to do. I won’t try and explain it but if I am ever...
