In For A Penny, In For A Pound
Since I appear to to be contemplating kaleidoscopes, among other complex things, here's a post by Christopher, the blogger at Bending the Rule. This is a long post, I tell you upfront, but it does a disservice to him and to you if you choose to follow the link but don't read the whole thing. He travels a lot of ground, including the Da Vinci Code (which he calls, rightly, a work of fiction), Christian defensiveness, and much more.
Another person whose integrity I respect.
