March & April in Review

On the first of March I created an index for my first two months of posts, and I figured I'd do the same thing for the next two. Here are my posts from March:

• JI: Paul and the Ignorance of Idolaters: Did God excuse some unbelief... or not?
• Were We Never Christians At All?: By any reasonable definition, we were
• The 10 Commandments, Version 1.5: How they'd look if they were truly from God
• WEIT: The Layout of Life: How biogeographical patterns support evolution
• Conservapedia: A look at the zaniest bits of this ultraconservative Christian wiki

• JI: Introduction to Forgeries: Who wrote the gospels & the motives of forgers

In these past weeks I've done a little of the ethics and philosophy stuff that I had previously expressed interest in, and I hope to elaborate on those topics fairly soon. I also gave more details on my personal history and situation. My coverage of WEIT and JI continues to proceed slowly but steadily.

I'm still pretty satisfied with how things are going. Although I expect my rate of posting may gradually decrease to 13–14 posts per month, I think I've already exceeded my initial expectations.
