This blog needs a facelift. And I need a thesis. What a pity that what this blog needs and what I need are in direct competition for that resource known as “time”. Oh well.
I nearly considered announcing a halt to all blogging for the next few months, but I still can’t bring myself to do [...]

I pondered my biased perspectives on the Islamic faith in this comment, and I wonder what my views of the Christian Bible would be if my only exposure to it was from the same sources I received my “biased” impressions of the Qur’an.
