Sam Donaldson apparently just finished reading some nutty lefty blogs when he appeared on the roundtable segment in ABC's "This Week" yesterday. Courtesy of Newsbusters, here's the transcript: GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Let's turn to Republicans. Mitt Romney did give his big speech on faith in America this week. He said very clearly that he would not […]
Christianity cannot be the basis for governing a nation. Unlike Islam, which has a model for law known as sharia, Christianity is based on having a personal relationship between the believer and God. Jesus didn't say anything about how to run a town, a city or an empire. It's one of the points Gregory Boyd […]
This is a much deeper theological question than the New York Times appears capable of handling: A headline last Sunday about a Muslim man and an Orthodox Jewish woman who are partners in two Dunkin’ Donuts stores described their religions incorrectly. The two faiths worship the same God — not different ones. I think if […]
"What Would Jesus Do?" For a time in the '90s -- and probably still en vogue today -- wristbands with "WWJD?" could be found on many a Christian's wrist. What was originally supposed to be a subtle reminder to the wearer instead became a somewhat ostentatious display of religiosity. I've said repeatedly that preachers shouldn't […]
I don't think I'll be converting to the religious left's line on the proper role of the U.S. government anytime soon. And this sort of rhetoric sure isn't the way to sway anyone to your line of thinking. REV. JIM WALLIS: If I'm an unborn child and I want the support of the far religious […]
I finally got around to finishing Gregory Boyd's "The Myth of a Christian Nation" the other day, and whatever you may think of his theology (e.g. that God is not omniscient) the book is well worth a read. While I disagree with quite a bit of Boyd's political analysis, he does offer some words of […]
Two San Diego court employees have sued the Superior Court -- and the court is going to lose. Two San Diego court employees are suing the Superior Court because they say they have been prohibited from holding a lunch hour Bible study in the courthouse. The federal civil rights suit claims court officials unfairly denied […]
Chicago's Episcopal Diocese has nominated a lesbian priest who's in an (by definition) extramarital relationship with another woman to the rank of bishop. The real question is this: Is she a Christian or a Muslim? Nowadays it's a question you have to ask.
CNN started its series on moral equivalency Tuesday night with the first part of its "God's Warriors" series with a focus on Judaism. (For those who are interested, the Little Green Footballs discussion thread on the episode is here.) I haven't had time to watch the series, and probably won't until this weekend, but I […]
Instapundit Glenn Reynolds points to this article about the rise of Christianity in China. He then writes this: It could happen, I suppose, and my colleague Rosalind Hackett, who studies these things, has suggested that militant Christianity, not Islam, is likely to be the religious force of the 21st century. I'm unsure whether the "militant" […]
