A Different Perspective on Jesus

Hambydammit from Life Without a Net has recently published a blog on Jesus that is worth taking a look at.  He also has a fascination with cats holding machine guns (or he is a cat with a machine gun).

New Years Resolutions

These are not necessarily resolutions as much as they are personal goals:

1. I want to publish at least 3 books this year; at least two of these books will be published academically.
2. I want to submit or contribute at least 10 articles to academic journals, series, or seminars (20 would be ideal).
3. I want to publish at least 4 blog posts a month (at least 1 a week); it would be ideal to publish 8 blog posts a month.
4. I want to sow the seeds for future book projects (to be written next year) and gather the resources and data to do so.
5. I want to read 2 new books a month.

Resolutions:

1. To allow for more tolerance of different ideas and perspectives
2. To be more strict in methodology
3. To lose weight and eat better (Isn’t this the standard New Years resolution?)
4. To buy James Crossley, James McGrath, Jim West, Emanuel Pfoh, Roland Boer, Niels Peter Lemche, Philip Davies, and Thomas Thompson a drink (Best to start saving now)
5. To jump another 8 ranks on N.T. Wrong’s Biblioblog Top 50 (Watch out Jim West!)
6. To be a better boyfriend, provider and bestfriend.
7. To be a better son.

Staying the same:

1. Critically examine every claim
2. Shape my opinions in accordance to the evidence (never the other way around)
3. Stay awesome
4. Still not a fish
