I plan on seeing "End of the Spear" Monday night, but decided to check out some of the reviews for it over at RottenTomatoes.com, a review aggregator. Needless to say, that hostility toward Christian and religious content isn't limited to Hollywood studios, but also appears to run rampant among movie critics. "End of the Spear" […]
Check out these dueling headlines, subheads and introductory paragraphs on Wednesday's Supreme Court ruling in an abortion case. First, The Washington Post: Justices Send Back Parent-Notification Law Lower Court Must Modify N.H. Abortion Measure Instead of Striking It Down By Charles Lane Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, January 19, 2006; Page A08 The Supreme Court […]
Let's say that you were sensitive to anti-religious bigotry. Would you be offended by the following conversation? Should you be? Person A: The apostles all had bad endings ... sawed in half. Person B: Ah, the good ol' days. Just askin'.
That's what I take from this column by the Union-Tribune's Logan Jenkins. Last week, Sheriff's deputies discovered a dozen pilfered Baby Jesuses strewn in a parking lot.

The Alliance Defense Fund is suing the two schools -- and the CSU system -- over their non-discrimination policies. You can find the complaint here.

This is like shooting fish in a barrel. Only the New York Times editorial page can write a Christmas editorial, keep "Christmas" out of the headline and not mention Jesus once.
There are a lot of people who cringe at the phrase the "War on Christmas." It's a bit of hyperbole, which is always good to sell books or get TV viewers, however it does draw attention to what is a real issue: the continuing effort to remove religion in general -- and Christianity in particular […]
About this time two years ago former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean was leading the race for the Democrat nomination for president and trying to broaden his appeal by touting his religious beliefs. I don't know about the state of Dean's relationship with God, but whatever it is, he didn't represent it well publicly. When chided […]
Yeah, I know it's an oxymoron, but check out this article in today's Wall Street Journal on religious schools' difficulties at getting the University of California system's blessing on their courses. At issue -- among many things -- is the textbooks used in these courses. The physics textbook is like any other--with pure science in […]
