It's a common complaint from the anti-religion left that President Bush injects his religious views into his speeches. For them, the mythical "wall of separation between church and state" is practically translated as public servants shall not talk about G-d. So what happens when the candidate of the G-dless left has this to say at […]
Today's New York Times has three letters responding to Kristof's Saturday column (fisked below). It should come as no surprise that (as is the Times' habit) they all concur with Kristof's assessment of evangelical Christians. The most galling statement comes from the Rev. G. Patrick Thompson, who recalled something his New Testament professor said in […]
Today's New York Times has an interesting article on the plethora of books out there aimed at evangelical singles. The piece mainly focuses on women, though there are books out there aimed at men too. Since I've been quoted (anonymously) in one of these books (Single Men are Like Waffles, Single Women are Like Spaghetti), […]
In today's New York Times, columnist Nicholas Kristof writes his book report on "Glorious Appearing," the latest in the "Left Behind" series of books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. I've got to give credit to Kristof. He is the only one of the Times' liberal editorial columnists who attempts to see evangelical Christians and […]
By now this is old news -- sort of -- but last weekend Sen. John Kerry came out with a statement that had me dumbstruck. Kerry and I disagree on a lot of things -- most things -- but on this we agree: I oppose abortion, personally. I don't like abortion. I believe life does […]
National Review's Ramesh Ponnuru observes that what scares at least one former Clinton administration official most isn't Islamofacist terrorists, but conservative Christians. Many millions of Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other religious believers will reject Reich's witless rhetorical oppositions. One can believe in the political "primacy of the individual," the obligation of all people to answer […]
Christopher Johnson analyzes some of the curious "logic" the Episcopal Church is using to excise certain inconvenient Bible verses. My favorite line: With Richard Hooker and many Anglican theologians through the last five centuries, we believe scripture is brought to life for contemporary believers through interpretation. Richard Hooker's body just drilled Kent a new sewer […]
Well, it turns out that the L.A.County supervisors who have voted to acquiesce to the ACLU's demands to remove the tiny cross on the county seal aren't chicken -- they're uneducated. Let us review: The First Amendment to the Constitution: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise […]
The L.A. Daily News is reporting that the cowardly 3-2 vote to cave in to the ACLU on the county seal is causing a massive backlash. We alone have received more than 600 e-mails and 200 phone calls in the last 24 hours," said John Musella, spokesman for Board of Supervisors Chairman Don Knabe, who […]
The Los Angeles County Supervisors, a cowardly, spineless group has decided to cave to the Anti-Christian Liberals Union. Los Angeles County supervisors on Tuesday ended an emotional debate over the symbolism of the tiny gold cross on the county seal by deciding to remove it rather than defend it against a threatened ACLU lawsuit. Advised […]
