  • Can Israel Survive 4 Another 60 years?

    You forget nother ''categories'' of Jewish people who don't care...or wish they didn't have to..... Israel is, after all, a FOREIGN COUNTRY, if one does not live there. I know, I know....everyone in the USA has an ''old country''....so why not be proud of Israel being your ''old country'' if you are Jewish? One good reason is, there is no other ...

  • Re: See no evil, through a veil

    Ms Schmidt, you propose a false dichotomy with biased terminology intended to elevate your moral and intellectual position. 'Free vs oppressive system' is such an example. As I have mentioned elsewhere here on the Fray, true ''freedom'' is beyond human reach- it is a utopic ideal. It would arguably be more accurate to call the matter of wearing ...

  • Commentary on the commentary!

    Hello boys, Thanks for the entertaining, verbal ping-pong match on the book The Year of Living Biblically by Mr. A.J. Jacobs. Mr. Jacobs: You have written a hilariously funny book on a profoundly-important topic. As a born-again, spirit-filled, charismatic Catholic whose little brother is a Lubavitch Jew, I have a few opinions of my own ...

  • Jesus was a rebel

    The article states (correctly) that one of the problems with creating rip-offs of Nirvana and Jay-Z for the Christian music scene is that you are trying to ''shoehorn a message that is essentially about obeying authority'' into an essentially rebellious medium. The fact that this is correct shows how far ''Christians'' have strayed from the ...

  • perception

    The author makes a common assumption when observing so-called Christian pop culture. The vast majority of what he describes is about making money off of Christians. Not all Christians believe exactly the same thing listen to the same music or buy the same stuff. We don't all vote republican either. The author's attitude is as irrational and ...

  • Incorrect Assertions in the Intro

    “Whether or not they were the butt of all of Stewart's jokes seemed irrelevant to them. The point was that the high priest of political comedy spent a lot of time thinking about them.” Being a Christian, I was hurt by that generalization. I watch what I watch because I find it entertaining not because I have a strong desire to hear ...

  • This might have been a cutting edge article...

    about 15-20 years ago, or longer, but today it is just plain silly. I am speak in particular about the idea that Christian creativity (particularly of the musical variety) is inevitably and pathetically lame. Baloney. I would put the best of Christian artisits up against ANY secular artist of any stripe. The quality of the music ballooned ...

  • Sex in Christ

    I'm curious about the reference to the advice site offering a Christian justification for strap-ons and bondage. If Radosh is talking about the site http://sexinchrist.com, he seems to have misread its satirical bent.

  • Popery

    One of my 1st memories, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, was a parish priest preaching a sermon on the Vatican's treaty with Italy's Fasciasts & how it helped the RC' minister to a war torn world. The church was in the Arcdioces of Cincinasty. The Archbishop was an avid analiguist for & to Pius 12. He even named a high school for ...

  • Cross vs. Crucifix

    ''[A] card bearing the image of a near-naked man being... nailed through his hands and feet onto a wooden crucifix is a markedly less pleasant piece of mail.'' Small error here. He was nailed to a cross, not a crucifix. A crucifix, specifically, is a piece of statuary or jewelry representing Jesus on the cross. If the Christ figure is ...
