beautifulduckweed1. My thoughts on faith, belief in God, belief in the Supernatural, the existence of the supernatural and my ongoing tussle with rationality vs. irrationality.
2. How large, radically varied groups united by a single overarching belief should own their (sometimes over-the-)borderline-psychotic members as being, you know, members of their groups instead of going, "Oh, those aren't REAL [insert group identity here]," thereby conveniently ducking responsibility and/or examining exactly how these philosophies have been co-opted and where exactly they went wrong. Christians, Muslims and feminists, I'm especially looking at you. (This rant brought to you by reading the recent Vox Day kerfuffle at John Scalzi's blog, in which various Christian apologists have attempted to argue that Christianity has never inspired violence or hatred against another group, with one person categorizing the medieval Catholic church as being "on the margins," refusing to acknowledge Mormons as Christians and refusing to acknowledge homophobia as hatred. GAHHHHHHH.)
3. Why I find the theory of efficient breach in contracts morally repulsive.

2. Beta receives an offer from Crackman for a higher value.
3. Beta asks Alpha if Alpha would like to split the proceeds instead of having Beta honor the contract, and Alpha agrees.
4. Beta breaks the contract, and splits the proceeds.
Step 3 makes a lot of difference.
