Wil Wheaton on bullying and building a happy life. "Life is too short to be Voldemort," indeed.

A decorated Sikh Army officer has been granted the right to wear his religiously mandated turban and beard while serving on active duty. This makes my heart happy. Sikhs have a culture of service, and asking Sikh-Americans to choose between their religious belief and their service is stupid when they can be so easily accommodated.

Wolverines may have a new vocation - search and rescue in the event of an avalanche. I love wolverines, and the idea of using them as partners in this work makes me furiously happy.

As a Christian, I absolutely agree with the Dalai Lama. As the book of James says: What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2:14-17

Unfortunately, too many Christians ignore that passage.
