Heh. I bet that there’s at least one DC com­ic in which the East­er Bun­ny actu­al­ly makes an appear­ance.

Dr. Bill New­some, recent­ly tapped to co-chair the BRAIN ini­tia­tive, is a fol­low­er of Jesus. I’ve had him preach in my Chi Alpha min­istry before. You can see him being inter­viewed about the BRAIN ini­tia­tive at http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/04/newsome/ and see him talk­ing about his faith at http://stanmed.stanford.edu/2006summer/newsome.html

By WILLIAM NEWSOME. When I dis­cuss reli­gion with my fel­low sci­en­tists — which is not often — I find that many per­ceive reli­gious faith as a unique­ly irra­tional aspect of human life andthere­fore high­ly…

“One of the most awk­ward and painful truths in Amer­i­can high­er edu­ca­tion is that it is per­fect­ly legal for pri­vate col­leges and uni­ver­si­ties — on the left and right — to dis­crim­i­nate against peo­ple who refuse to fol­low, or at least respect, the teach­ings at the core of these vol­un­tary asso­ci­a­tions. How­ev­er, and this is the tricky part for many jour­nal­ists, these insti­tu­tions must use a truth-in-adver­tis­ing approach when deal­ing with poten­tial stu­dents, fac­ul­ty and the pub­lic.” — this sum­ma­rizes the sit­u­a­tion per­fect­ly and is some­thing that many in the media seem to miss. A place such as Van­der­bilt can dis­al­low Chris­t­ian groups from requir­ing their lead­ers to be ortho­dox Chris­tians, but it needs to let stu­dents know that before they enroll. It will affect peo­ple’s deci­sions.

This makes sense to me. If you think envi­ron­men­tal­ism is not a reli­gious belief then I sub­mit that you either don’t under­stand envi­ron­men­tal­ists or that you don’t under­stand reli­gion. This is dou­bly true for veg­ans. Bonus: my favorite veg­an joke is http://lolsnaps.com/news/41045/0/

Church­es around the world used 128 songs he wrote or co-wrote last year, Rachin­s­ki said. CCLI esti­mates that every Sun­day in the Unit­ed States, between 60,000 and 120,000 church­es are singing Tomlin’s songs. By extrap­o­lat­ing that data, Rachin­s­ki says, “our best guess would be in the Unit­ed States on any giv­en Sun­day, 20 to 30 mil­lion peo­ple would be singing Chris Tom­lin’s songs.”

What an inter­est­ing idea. I like Piper’s ques­tion — espe­cial­ly how he would hope to start by lis­ten­ing. Note that this is from 2009 and is in no way relat­ed to cur­rent events (except that my inter­est in cur­rent events is what prompt­ed me to share it).
