“Why pray? Evidently, God likes to be asked. God certainly does not need our wisdom or our knowledge, nor even the information contained in our prayers ("your Father knows what you need before you ask him"). But by inviting us into the partnership of creation, God also invites us into relationship. God is love, said the apostle John. God does not merely have love or feel love. God is love and cannot not love. As such, God yearns for relationship with the creatures made in his image.” KnowsNeedsFeelsDoeMadeSaidAsksFatherPrayerInformationCreationPrayingCreaturesLikesGod LoveInvitesPartnershipOur PrayersApostlesInvitingGod Is Love Author:Philip Yancey
“Information wants to be free.' So goes the saying.

But what if information is inanimate? What if it's even less than inanimate, a mere artifact of human thought? What if only humans are real, and information is not?...Information is alienated experience.” IfsThinkingWantFirstsHumansSaidIdeasRealWholeSeemsEarthStuffAliveInformationAmbitionDeserveMereBrandsWhat IfFoundersArtifactsHuman Thought Book:You Are Not a Gadget Source: You Are Not a Gadget

“The UN stopped using Chalabi's information as a basis for conducting inspections once the tenuous nature of his sources and his dubious motivations became clear. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the mainstream US media, which give prominent coverage to sources of information that, had they not been related to Hussein's Iraq, would normally be immediately dismissed.” GivingSaidMotivationClearMediaInformationSourceBasesIraqRelatedMainstreamHusseinCoverageProminentConductingDubiousInspection Author:Scott Ritter
