  • You are in my Prayers

    I read your article, ''What I've learned from debating religious people around the world'' with fascination. To provide you with some insight I am what is commonly called an evangelical Christian, but could not be accurately labeled as a full Calvinist. I try my best to communicate in a manner that saves others from perdition and I likewise strive ...

  • Wow -- What a Rant by "Rage Boy" Chris Hitch Today

    I am perfectly content, really quite happy, about Obama's decision to have this mega-Church author, pastor, and cultural figure, Rick Warren, give the prayer at the January 20th Inauguration of our new United States President. I understand the apoplexy of ''Rage Boy'' Christopher Hitchens at the very thought of a prayer being said, let alone a ...

  • Mike's Buyers Guide to God - Part II

    Unless you follow St. Augustine of Hippo or John Calvin, who, by the way, never even made Saint, let alone Patron Saint of Brewers as Augustine did, you have something called free will and, yes, that's an enormous burden as well as an empowering freedom. And, for God's sake, if you're firmly in that predestination camp, pass this on at once to ...

  • Mike's Buyers Guide to God - Part I

    Find the religion that's right for you by answering these two questions: What do I want from God? and What does God want from me? Whether you're a first time shopper or just no longer satisfied with your current spiritual affiliation, you need help. If you were looking for a new house or car your local bookstore's shelves would be ...
