For example, Vox Day has a post here:<BR/><BR/>http://voxday.blogspot.com/2007/02/mailvox-sharpening-knives.html<BR/><BR/>called “sharpening knives” where he says “killing every child under two on the planet is no more inherently significant than a programmer unilaterally wiping out his AI-bots in a game universe.” And if ordered by God, he would do it. Is such murder not a sin if it’s is ordered by God?<BR/><BR/>Is sin just disobeying God?<BR/><BR/>If so, then which version of God’s rules you buy into determines what is and isn’t sin.normdoeringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279378756658563565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-47211186675990777612008-12-10T18:42:00.000-07:002008-12-10T18:42:00.000-07:00Another which just came to mind is Bill Muehlenber...Another which just came to mind is <A HREF="http://lippard.blogspot.com/2007/06/christian-deception-about-art-of.html" REL="nofollow">Bill Muehlenberg's blog</A>.Lippardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826768452963498005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-5248534780015024152008-12-10T18:31:00.000-07:002008-12-10T18:31:00.000-07:00Off the top of my head, I can't think of any that ...Off the top of my head, I can't think of any that have actually deleted a comment, as opposed to refusing to allow a comment through moderation.

Of course the only reason (according to him) that he closed them is because he wants to babysit his blog to make sure he can delete Bad Words as soon as they are posted. That's fine, in that he has the right to control his own space. However, controlling outlinks is going a bit far. And considering that Norm's blog is fenced by a Google scare-screen first, you'd think Gilson could allow his readers to make their own choice, no?Eamon Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262012749524758120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-24466072080455105112008-03-29T10:08:00.000-07:002008-03-29T10:08:00.000-07:00I've read that article from A blog from hell and j...I've read that article from A blog from hell and just had to wonder,<BR/>When Hitler ordered such books to be burned, it's obvious he wanted to include Darwin's Origins of Species book in the burnt pile as well.
