Micah Tillman has an interesting discussion going on over at his blog. He notes that pacifism taken to its logical end must result in anarchism. Personally, I prefer black and white. If pacifism could stand up to scrutiny, I’d be all for it. I don’t like having to wade through shades of gray. Unfortunately, life [...]
I absolutely will not vote for Giuliani, even if his opponent is Hillary Clinton. Some conservatives have come to the conclusion that Mitt Romney really has changed, but I still have strong reservations, most of which are summed up in Romney Secrets The Media Are Hiding From You by Gregg Jackson at Townhall.com. The fact [...]
Considering the lengths to which prosperity teachers go to twist the words of the Bible, it would not surprise me one bit if they were improperly reporting income. How long before these people’s followers realize that they are being had? Acting on tips about preachers who ride in Rolls Royces and have purportedly paid $30,000 [...]
The idea that the Religious Right is all but disbanded has even made it into conservative media lately. Personally, I don’t feel any different than I did a couple of years ago, and I don’t know of anyone who would have been associated with the RR before who has decided that from now on they [...]

Don’t look. See if you can do it. I was able to name nine of them without looking. Apparently Americans find it easier to name the seven ingredients of a Big Mac hamburger than to name the Ten Commandments.
In the UK, it’s okay to express your views, as long as you do it politely. If you are considered rude, then it’s off to jail for a sentence longer than that handed down to convicted rapists. We live in scary times. New legislation makes it a crime to criticize the homosexual lifestyle. Homosexual activists [...]
I’ve already forgotten what got me thinking about this, but for some reason I began wondering where angels fit into the creation. At first consideration, I thought they would have been created in Genesis 1. However, 1) they definitely would have been mentioned there if that was when they were created, and 2) since they [...]
1) Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord 2) Believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead 3) Pray the “Sinner’s Prayer” 4) Be baptized 5) Become a member of a church 6) Have an unflawed understanding of every doctrine in the Bible 7) Have no unconfessed sins at the moment [...]
A post by Robert over at Mulled Vine got me thinking about the subject of hell. I believe that the Bible should be interpreted literally whenever possible, but this is one of those places where I do not think a literal interpretation makes sense. Many people do teach that hell is a place of literal [...]
