So Much for a Tolerant Society
All of us have probably felt at some time that we were unfairly punished by a callous teacher, or picked on and teased by boorish and uncaring bullies...Unfortunately, this is part of what teenagers endure in becoming adults... (the law) is simply too crude and imprecise an instrument to satisfactorily soothe deeply hurt feelings... Such …
The Death of Jerry Falwell and the Crusade of Necessity
The death of Jerry Falwell is doubtless bringing dancing and celebration in the bath houses and bars that liberals hang out in (to say nothing of the left-wing blogs.) For our part, we extend our condolences to his family, Liberty University and the Thomas Road Baptist Church. There is no question that Falwell's move into …

Mitt Romney’s Mormonism: Some Things to Consider
Back in March I did a short piece on this subject where I made the statement that "the Book of Mormon does not teach Mormonism!" I also said that "...expect to see considerable discussion about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) and its beliefs." That has certainly been the case. It's …

Travolta and Scientology vs. the BBC: Revenge of the Bologna Club
There needs to be little surprise at John Travolta spearheading Scientology's counterattack against John Sweeney's BBC documentary on the subject.

Turning Murdoch Out: The Church Can’t Win
The call by the Christian Research Network for Rick Warren to "turn out" (to use the old expression) Rupert Murdoch from Saddleback Church is a great idea. In theory. The basic problem is that churches in the U.S. have become adverse to expelling anyone from the membership, and not entirely for reasons of their own …

Democracy in the Middle East?
Those who oppose the war in Iraq endless talk generally talk about things such as the WMD's, the "lies," etc. They're trying to make a moral case out of it. For us, the matter is simpler: because of the nature of Middle Eastern society, democracy is presently impossible. Thus the whole premise of bringing democracy …
Protecting the Master Race
There has been a lot of consternation--well deserved--about the passage of H.R. 1592, the so-called "hate crimes" bill. We would have commented on this sooner except that it was a foregone conclusion to pass in the House. From a political standpoint, it is a sop to a powerful support group in the Democrat Party.
