Where am I? You're in cyberspace, of course! This web page provides links to writings of Theodore Plantinga that fit under the general heading that's supposed to appear at the very top of your netbrowser screen. Other TP writings can be found on the Myodicy home page. The reformational history series (temporarily suspended, along with Myodicy, when Frictophobia was launched) has its own home page. And then there are additional writings that can through yet another web page. Please note that there is some overlap between Frictophobia and Myodicy: the former includes links to documents in the latter.

Food selection
George Sheehan calls himself a "dietary agnostic." I take issue with him and advocate a no-meat diet. My reasons for choosing the vegetarian path are many, and they have grown over the years. Some of them I have put on paper (or typed into the computer).
