The Amalgamation / Darth Maul Makes Me Smile

Hi, and welcome to the Amalgamation. It has a terrible name, but it mainly just refers to the fact that it's an attempt to streamline my other blogs into one cohesive unit. Here you'll find A Humble Art Folio, Visual Diary of the Fizzy, and fizzy musings, all rolled into one. Most of it relates to my 'art,' that is, my attempts to illustrate my way through life! I'm an Australian wife, mother and uni student who loves art, books, and heaps more. Thanks for visiting! **For Art Folio images, click on the image to view it in larger format.** [Updated approximately weekly. To receive updates when new posts appear, sign up for the RSS feed.]

  Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution sprung from his acceptance of the deism of his friends and his influential mentor, the lawyer Charles Lyell.

- The Copenhagen Treaty November 7, 2009
  The upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference to be held in Copenhagen from December 7-18 is now being talked about all over the blogosphere. This is because of a speech that Lord Christopher Monckton, a former adviser to Margaret Thatcher, gave at Bethel University in St Paul, Minnesota, on October 14. In his speech he [...]
- A review of 50 People Every Christian Should Know. By Warren Wiersbe. November 6, 2009
  Baker, 2009. (Available in Australia from Koorong Books) A. W. Tozer once rightly said, “Next to the Holy Scriptures, the greatest aid to the life of faith may be Christian biographies.” Can I supplement this by saying that next to a good Christian biography, the next most helpful aid is a series of brief biographical sketches. That [...]
- Some Good News on the Abortion Front November 4, 2009
  While there is often a lot of bad news concerning abortion, there are some occasional good news stories. Two encouraging events are worth recounting here. The first involves a leader in the pro-abortion group Planned Parenthood who has left that organisation and is now fully pro-life. Abby Johnson was the director of the Planned Parenthood abortion [...]
- More Intolerance by the Forces of Tolerance November 4, 2009
  In police states which feign some degree of freedom, oppressive governments have various ways to repress dissent and keep the masses from expressing their concerns. Militias or government forces dressed in civilian clothing will often patrol the public spaces on the lookout for any signs of rebellion or protest. When such outbursts of freedom and democracy [ […]
- Lessons From the Fall of the Berlin Wall November 3, 2009
  As things continue to decline spiritually, morally, culturally, politically and ideologically, we need more than ever men and women willing to stand up, go against the tide, and provide some hearty resistance. We need, in other words, men and women with some backbone. But such is often not the case, even among God’s people. We see [...]
- Liberal Christianity’s Assault on Religious Freedom October 30, 2009
  Hard on the heels of the passage of Obama’s anti-Christian hate crimes law, we now find he is being aided and abetted by liberal churchians who also want to shut down free speech and silence conservative believers. Indeed, they have sided with the radicals in seeking to undermine the freedom of believers to speak out [...]
- A Dark Day for American Christianity October 30, 2009
  Barrack Obama knew that in order to win the US Presidential election, he had to win over a large voting bloc: evangelical born-again Christians. So he put on a good act, tried to talk the talk, and managed to convince many gullible believers that he was one of them. Of course now that he is firmly [...]
- Difficult Bible Passages: Matthew 19:12 October 30, 2009
  This is hopefully the first in an irregular series on difficult Biblical passages. I do this for several reasons. There are admittedly some passages in the Bible which are somewhat hard to understand, or open to all manner of interpretations – some better than others. Believers may well have honest questions about such texts. Also, I [...]
- The Death Throes of a Once Christian Nation October 28, 2009
  Yet another amazing episode of the gaystapo in action in Not So Great Britian. This time an English grandmother is hunted down by the police for daring to question a homosexual pride march. The terrified 67-year-old was questioned by police over her complaints to a local council about the march. Here is how the Daily Mail [...]
- McLaren and Obama: Not So Strange Bedfellows October 27, 2009
  Generally speaking, those with liberal theological views tend to also have liberal political views. Conversely, those with conservative theological views tend to have conservative political views. Not always, but in most cases. So religious liberals can usually be counted on to be political and ideological liberals as well. There are plenty of examples of th […]

- Democrat Behind Fake Abortion Funding Amendment Draws Strong Opposition
  Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Before this week, Indiana congressman Brad Ellsworth was regarded as one of the consistently pro-life Democratic members of Congress.

- NBC's Surprising Law and Order Show Brings Some Order to the Abortion Debate
  The episode was based on the killing of abortionist George Tiller. But unlike many news reports, which go from there to simply paint the killer as a "pro-life fanatic" and the pro-life position itself as fanaticism leading to violence, the "Law and Order" episode actually brought some balance into the debate
- Baltimore City Council Takes First Step to Target Pregnancy Centers Over Abortion
  Baltimore, MD (LifeNews.com) -- The Baltimore City Council has taken the first step in favor of a proposal that would target pregnancy centers by making them post a sign saying they do not offer abortions or provide contraception. It contains no stipulations for abortion centers saying they don't provide alternatives.
