About waynem

As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work. My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams. My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.

    Dear Friends,
    Our prayers have been answered!
    I am so thrilled to tell you that my son has just received word that he successfully completed his studies at Liberty University (Jerry Falwell’s school) and will be ministering right here in our hometown come fall.
    I also wanted to share with you the exam he was able to get his hands on before the test (He says the Lord always provides. Amen!). It is the one on which he scored the highest grade and we are so very proud of him for it.
    It is fascinating to get a glimpse of all the vast knowledge we worked so hard to secure for him come alive through his heart and mind. I think you will find the concept and content extraordinarily interesting and marvelously complex. Who knew the rigors our good pastor’s go through to become instruments of faith and guidance.
    This truly is a heavenly blessed day.

    FINAL EXAM, Spring 2005
    The Counter Argument; The Snare of Satan.
    Instructions: (Read carefully and completely so that your answers apply to the question asked. This can be challenging in that the argument you put forth is based on the antithesis of this statement. The process and the narrative are then true expressions of the course of thought necessary to become untangled from Satan’s masterful snare of tangible evidence, objective deduction, and the most deadly poison to faith of all, critical thinking.)
    This exam follows a sermon format whereby appropriate verses are inserted for justification and glossing over of glaring flaws in logic that can often derail the most earnest of preachers. Your answers are choice points and therefore can be arbitrary.
    You may only use the verses referenced in the exam questions. Use of any other biblical quote will result in the deduction of 50 points per usage. You must have 250 points to pass the exam.
    Good Luck!
    Question: Why aren’t all biblical laws proclaimed as current and enforceable as other more oft quoted ones regarding human relations, morality, character, and deed? If you legislate, ratify, and enforce laws based on few of the many, what is the rationale? [i.e., Leviticus 18:22. Leviticus 20:13.] {Historical context is a spurious argument, so avoid using it here as an answer.} 25 points
    And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail, Luke 16:17
    Question: “Love thy neighbor as they self.” Would this not account for the extraordinary amount of self-hatred in this country now as exhibited by the levels of violence, including rape and domestic abuse, serial murders, gun ownership, adultery, graft, corporate corruption, ad infinitum? {You are strongly encouraged to use current census, justice department, federal, local & state crime figures, in your answer.} 25 points
    Of 284 million Americans ninety three percent or 264 million of them are Christians.
    Question: Explain the divorce rate under one man – one woman marriage laws. 10 points
    The US has the world’s highest divorce rate, bar none–twice as high as the next highest country (Sweden) and 50 times higher than some countries.
    Question: What impact does this have on the children from one man – one woman intact family units? How will it impact those children with same-sex parenting and behavior modeling? And, most importantly, describe how the crime numbers are so high. 50 points
    EXTRA CREDIT QUESTION: Why does crime news, often of a heinous nature, include the following variations of the same declaration; “she / he (the criminal) was a good Cristian” or “she/he comes from a good Christian family,” and never ‘she/he is a good Buddhist (Jew, Bahai, Catholic [except the priests, of course, or comes from those families of faith? Are they really “good Christians” if they had the propensity, capability, and take action that results in the crime? 50 Points
    Question: Rationalize all these statistical facts. Place responsibility and accountability for these failing numbers on a third party or entity (i.e., the media, gays, Jews, liberals, and or activist judges). 25 points
    IMPORTANT: 100 Points will deducted if there is even the slightest mention of any facet that could be related to evolution or an evolutionary process. Intelligent Design is the only acceptable framework for any argument structure or choice point.
    Lev 21:14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or a harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.
    Deuteronomy 24:1-4 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
    If a man cheats on his wife, or vise versa, both the man and the woman must die.
    (Leviticus 20:10)
    If a man has sex with a woman on her period, they are both to be “cut off from their people” (Leviticus 20:18)
    Deuteronomy 21:18-21. If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard.” Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.
    Ecclesiastices 30 — Whoever loves his son will beat him frequently, so that in after years his son will be his comfort.
    Ephesians 5:24 — Wives must submit themselves completely to their husbands just as the church submits itself to Christ.
    Question: What impact do these infallible and sacred texts have on the children from one man – one woman intact family units? 50 points (Female students can earn 75 points)
    Extra Credit: Religious or church leaders who preach that divorce is acceptable are guilty of apostasy. By not enforcing the law, or even perhaps a more lenient act, ostracize and lock out offenders, they too are guilty even though they do not preach the words directly. {Current events note: Pat Robertson lays blame for divorce and abortion in America on gays and lesbians on a recent airing of the 700 Club. He did not mention that the first no fault divorce law signed in America was done by Gov. Ronald Reagan, a divorced man himself. Comment on this to earn 10 extra points}
    Num 30:2 When a man voweth a vow unto Jehovah, or sweareth an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
    Question: Discuss the above freely as they apply to the question preceding. 25 Points

    Don’t wear clothes made of more than one fabric (Leviticus 19:19)
    Don’t cut your hair nor shave. (Leviticus 19:27)
    Any person who curseth his mother or father, must be killed. Leviticus 20:9)
    People who have flat noses, or are blind or lame, cannot go to an altar of God (Leviticus 21:17-18)
    Anyone who curses or blasphemes God, should be stoned to death by the community. (Leviticus 24:14-16)
    Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations.
    You may sell your daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7.
    Burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, as it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord – Lev.1:9.
    Exodus 35:2 clearly states one should be put to death if found working on the Sabbath.
    Eating shellfish is an abomination – Lev. 11:10
    YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE EXAM. Turn your answers face down on your desk and signal the proctor that he may collect it from you. Once he has your exam in hand you are to leave the testing room immediately and go directly to the chapel where there are prayer services in progress.

    Valneeta,
    Are all those that claim to be Christians indeed Christians?
