1. Yes, you need to talk to your kids about porn. Here's how to do it (posted September 28) "'I tell them that just as the 'Fast & Furious' movies are not driver's ed, porn is not sex ed,' said St. John. Explain that just like movies, porn portrays how we might fantasize about things but not act on them."

2. Horses in the Bible Contradict Ken Ham’s Hyper-evolution Narrative (posted January) "Every animal in the Bible is described in a fashion that makes it apparent that these species were fundamentally the same then as they are today."

3. October 1 is China's National Day 国庆节, which is the 4th of July for China. This year it's a big deal because it's the 70th anniversary of when the government was founded. There was a big parade in Beijing, and we all watched it on TV.

If you want to watch the whole entire thing, here's the youtube link. Basically the beginning was a military parade, with blocks of soldiers marching where they all lift their legs at the exact same time, and a bunch of military vehicles, and there was a speech from President Xi. Then part of the parade showing the culture of China, with people from a lot of minority ethnic groups, Olympic athletes, children singing happy birthday to China, and a bunch of floats representing each Chinese province. But most of it was the military parade. That went on and on and on.

Here are a few photos:
