Luther's In Depth Theology for Theological Therapy: the Coram Relations
The coram-relations are analogous with the intra-psychic ego states: the superego, ego, and id and represent the relational ones for our deep selves and extended, social selves for theological therapy.

Singer's "Famine, Affluence and Morality": Exposition and Appraisal
In his article "Famine, Affluence and Morality" Peter Singer gives a seemingly devastating critique of our ordinary ways of thinking about famine relief, charity, and morality in general. In spite of that very few people have accepted, or at any rate acted on, the conclusions he reaches. In light of these facts one might say of Singer's arguments, as Hume said of Berkeley's arguments for immaterialism, that "... they admit of no answer and produce no conviction."[1] While I do think that Singer's considerations show that people should do considerably more than most people actually do, they do not establish his conclusions in their full strength or generality. So his arguments admit of a partial answer, and once properly qualified may produce some conviction.

What is Nothing? (original)
This is your mind on Frege and Russell and Rorty and Postmodernism and Lawrence Krauss (or something). ;-)
P.S.: Thanks to everyone at Rifftrax for bringing that short to my attention!

Link: Owl City Fireflies Parody - Celebrity
I don't mean to offend any celebrities of good will by linking to this--only those who are just "famous for being famous", as the saying goes.
;-)
Everyone screws up; however (and sorry Quine, but I think this is Analytic) no one should screw up on purpose just to get attention (even though, of course, a lot of people do like attention; though most that do just want to be loved).

"This Is A Video EVERYONE Needs To See."
Ok, but things are more multifaceted than that; I think. Another name for this might be: The "Excessive Moderation Paradox Video". Different people engage with the world differently! Still, Spread the Love !!!

Amos 7: Locusts, Fire, and a Plumb-Line
Amos 7
Locusts, Fire, and a Plumb-Line
7This is what the Lord God showed me: he was forming locusts at the time the latter growth began to sprout (it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings). 2When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said,
‘O Lord God, forgive, I beg you!
How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!’
3 The Lord relented concerning this;
‘It shall not be,’ said the Lord.
‘O Lord God, forgive, I beg you!
How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!’
3 The Lord relented concerning this;
‘It shall not be,’ said the Lord.
4 This is what the Lord God showed me: the Lord God was calling for a shower of fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land. 5Then I said,
‘O Lord God, cease, I beg you!
How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!’
6 The Lord relented concerning this;
‘This also shall not be,’ said the Lord God.
‘O Lord God, cease, I beg you!
How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!’
6 The Lord relented concerning this;
‘This also shall not be,’ said the Lord God.
7 This is what he showed me: the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand. 8And the Lord said to me, ‘Amos, what do you see?’ And I said, ‘A plumb-line.’ Then the Lord said,
‘See, I am setting a plumb-line
in the midst of my people Israel;
I will never again pass them by;
9 the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate,
and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste,
and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.’
‘See, I am setting a plumb-line
in the midst of my people Israel;
I will never again pass them by;
9 the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate,
and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste,
and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.’
