Litigious atheist Michael Newdow made his case in federal court yesterday to try to halt any sort of prayers at the Jan. 20 inauguration. If you simply looked at the state of the law -- Newdow would win. Yes, that's the logical conclusion of the Supreme Court's church-state separation rulings. The judge read aloud an […]
The Sunday New York Times "Week in Review" weighs in on the California schoolteacher who got in trouble for mentioning the big guy in class. Now, I haven't been in Steven J. Williams' fifth-grade class, but unless the 38-year-old Williams is very new to teaching, he would have been fired long ago had he actually […]
Or "Don't know much about history." I was briefly listening to what I hope was a replay of the Alan Colmes radio show (I mean, they gave the guy Thanksgiving off, right?) earlier this evening when I quickly discovered that the night's subject of debate was whether or not the founding fathers believed in God.

I didn't approve of judge Roy Moore's move to put a Ten Commandments monument in an Alabama courthouse -- he was just trying to pick a fight. However, the repeated lawsuits by bitter, disgruntled atheists to remove anything that anyone could consider Christian from the public square is just as bad. Unfortunately, while Judge Moore […]

The ACLU is at it again, doing what it can to protect the American people, here and abroad, from organizations that *gasp* require a belief in God. The Pentagon has agreed to warn military bases worldwide that they should not directly sponsor Boy Scout troops, partially resolving claims that the government has improperly supported a […]
Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, who has slowly been losing his mind, has started channeling Pat Roberston. Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin says John Kerry has been gaining in the polls every day since Oct. 21, and George Bush has been going down every day. "That's how God wants it to be," Harkin told a group of […]
I must confess that several years ago I auditioned to be on Bill Maher's show "Politically Incorrect." This was in the late '90s when they were on ABC and they had a period of time that they were having "citizen panelists" on the show once a week. This was long before I started blogging, and […]
The Weekly Standard's Matt Labash has an excellent article on actor Stephen Baldwin. Stephen is the one Baldwin brother who doesn't walk in lockstep with the Hollywood elite. The Columbia Journalism Review has an article on the World Journalism Institute -- a group which trains Christians interested in a career in journalism. The WJI has […]
