Carla:: What an amazing display - and an equally amazing shot. Way to go Darlene!

Brian McCrorie:: Phil,

Was that the Red Arrows in formation? I used to love to watch them when they flew in an airshow in Scotland each year.

Am enjoying your daily updates. I am praying for God's blessing on your ministry in London!; 3:29 PM, July 04, 2005
Cindy:: Man, I'm jealous. Visiting England, Ireland and Scotland is a longtime cherished dream of mine. Maybe someday...; 6:21 AM, July 05, 2005
Cultural Savage:: England celebrating the Day America won its freedom from them: it just reeks of the humor of history, irony.; 1:08 PM, July 05, 2005
Aircraftdaft:: Ironic, Phil, that as curator of the PyroMania blog, you would flee to the U.K. and miss the one American holiday dedicated to pyromania. You were missed here.; 7:30 PM, July 05, 2005
Suzi:: The shot was excellent. I am surprised at the flight, since I didn't think that the British would celebrate the day.

But I suppose I shouldn't be totally surprised. The biggest Independence Day celebration I ever attended was in Geneva, Switzerland.; 6:16 AM, July 06, 2005
Jon:: We were celebrating American independence too... We'd been dying to get rid of you for years! We let you off! Silly!

WHAT? You Americans thought you'd actually won! We got bored and left! We have celebrated ever since...; 4:54 AM, July 13, 2005

Don't expect me to reply to your comments. If I feel strongly, I might reply in a blog entry. If I have time to waste, I could even post a comment of my own every now and then. (No promises on that.) But don't look for me to mud-wrestle with critics in my own blog-comments.
Say what you like about me; disagree as strongly as you like; beat me up or slap me around verbally with near-total impunity. But keep within the parameters of Christian civility. I'll automatically delete comments with profane or unwholesome words, including abbreviated or otherwise disguised ones.
On-topic comments only. If you have other stuff to say to me, send me an e-mail.
Don't feed the trolls.
Break my rules three times and I'll automatically delete any further comments I see from you.

Phil Johnsonâ€™s problem is that heâ€™s an unreconstructed male. An evolutionary throwback to the stone age of early manhood. Itâ€™s hard to think that far back in time, I know, but according to Richard Dawkins it dates to the Eisenhower era. . . .
"If you want proof positive of what a sexist male chauvinist pig Phil Johnson truly is, he actually thinks that women are capable of speaking for themselves. That women donâ€™t need an air-brushed, PC-sensitized male—if â€œmaleâ€� is the operative word here—to rush in with the smelling salts in case some fainting violet were to swoon at the sight of an old comic book cover. . . .
I assure you that the combined forces of government, the media, and the education establishment are taking coercive measures to weed these Troglodytes out of the general population. But they keep popping up between the cracks like so many dandelions."

—Steve Hays

What you have [here] is independent Baptist fundamentalism, right down the line, with only a few changes. . . . Go and check up on names like Jerry Falwell, Jerry Vines, John R. Rice and Jack Hyles. You'll understand a lot more about what you're hearing.
