"In short, the modern revolutionist, being an infinite sceptic, is always engaged in undermining his own mines..." GK Chesterton, Orthodoxy

How about the Indiana Atheist Bus Campaign, which is putting punchy one liners on the side of Chicago buses? One of their creations, "You can be good without God", purports goodness in the absence of God. It's rather difficult to establish morality in the absense of God - further difficult to set a standard of goodness in the absence of morality. The logical outworking of atheism is Nihilism. If there is no over spreading meaning to life, why should I attempt to speckle it with little pockets of meaning? If there is no giver of goodness, how shall I attempt to give what is good?

So... Xanga recently added a clever API which will update my Facebook profile whenever I add a weblog entry on Xanga.

Will this "help drive traffic to your Xanga sites" as Xanga claims, or is it a masked acknowledgment that Facebook is getting the market sown up?  Regardless, I'm now on Facebook!  I'll keep this site up to date as well - if nothing else for old time's sake!
