 <title>Tests</title>
 <link>http://tuscanycircle.net/post/tests</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;This is a collection of tests, quizzes, assessments, and such on TuscanyCircle.  I find these helpful in understanding myself and others.  You may, too.  I suggest bookmarking this page of links for easy reference.  As other scales and tests are developed here, I&#039;ll add them to this list.&lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tuscanycircle.net/post/tests&quot;&gt;  &amp;raquo; read more &amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Overt and Subtle Dangers</title>
 <link>http://tuscanycircle.net/post/overt_and_subtle_dangers</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Many Christians enjoy ducking those things of our culture which overtly violate Biblical values.  For example, when a church begins ordaining homosexuals, many believers will confront the leadership and, when that fails to make a difference, vote with their feet (leave).  Often, believers will avoid popular songs about cop-killing, suicide, and illicit drugs.  They will occasionally boycott businesses advocating antibiblical values.  All these responses from believers are indeed to be respected.&lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tuscanycircle.net/post/overt_and_subtle_dangers&quot;&gt;  &amp;raquo; read more &amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Disease Leads To Patience</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;I find that attributing &lt;a href=&quot;http://tuscanycircle.net/post/veteran_psychiatrist_calls_liberals_mentally&quot;&gt;liberalism&lt;/a&gt;, stupidity, or the like to diseases gives me great patience with others.  Their thought patterns, words, and behavior are uncontrollable symptoms of their chosen diseases.  They can&#039;t help it.&lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tuscanycircle.net/post/disease_leads_to_patience&quot;&gt;  &amp;raquo; read more &amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>CA Marriage Woes</title>
 <link>http://tuscanycircle.net/post/ca_marriage_woes</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;CA voters long ago passed DOMA (defense of marriage act, defining marriage as one man and one woman).  The state Supreme Court overturned the law as being unconstitutional.  The voters responded by passing Prop 8, an amendment to the state&#039;s constitution that succinctly defines marriage as one man and one woman.  Now the CA AG is refusing to defend it--he&#039;s fighting it, in fact--because it&#039;s &quot;unconstitutional&quot;.&lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tuscanycircle.net/post/ca_marriage_woes&quot;&gt;  &amp;raquo; read more &amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Ba&#039;al is back!</title>
 <link>http://tuscanycircle.net/post/baal_is_back</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldnetdaily.com/?pageId=83960&quot;&gt;The old gods are back&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
[T]he fundamentals of Baal worship remain alive and well today. The principal pillars of Baalism were child sacrifice, sexual immorality (both heterosexual and homosexual) and pantheism (reverence of creation over the Creator).
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let&#039;s call liberals, abortionists, environmentalists, and fornicators what they really are:  &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baal&quot;&gt;Ba&#039;al&lt;/a&gt; worshipers, Baalists.&lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tuscanycircle.net/post/baal_is_back&quot;&gt;  &amp;raquo; read more &amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>eHarmony Caves</title>
 <link>http://tuscanycircle.net/post/eharmony_caves</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;eHarmony &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=81446&quot;&gt;caves to gays&lt;/a&gt;&#039; lawsuits, forsaking the once-Biblical values of its founder.  That&#039;s not so much news as they all cave in court.  What I want to know is, when will a &quot;Christian&quot; organization finally stand up to these evil people and governments and refuse to comply?  Worst case, the business closes its doors, but at least they&#039;d have maintained their Godly values.  As it stands, they all seem to sell their souls for thirty pieces of silver.  Are there no steadfast Christians left in America?&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m interested in soliciting ideas for a name for my &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katana&quot;&gt;katana&lt;/a&gt;.  My favorite front-runner presently is &lt;i&gt;Aletheia&lt;/i&gt; (&quot;truth&quot;).  Do you have any suggestions you&#039;d like to propose?&lt;/p&gt;
