Re: Forgiveness cuts both ways
Based on the article, it seems like Haggard is equating forgiveness with being reinstated as the senior pastor, or at least being given a second chance at leadership. I think the author is clearly correct in noting that Haggard's reception back into the community should be only as a lay person, humbly serving. On the national level, however, ...

Ernie is a genius
The dirty little secret is that our conservative powers-that-be will have to declare ''God does not exist'' to dismiss the suit.

A classic election
I think that among all the outcry on this ''historic'' election (and I accept that in some aspects it was indeed historic) we tend to forget that in terms of electoral politics, it was just a textbook one. If anything, I am reminded of Tony Blair's victory over John Major in the UK in 1997. Obama's victory follows the basic rules of elections in a ...

I Thought Evangelicals Had Actual Principles?
Apparently not. If they're willing to support a Mormon, a member of a religion that directly contradicts several key Christian beliefs, then it is clear that they believe in their faith less than they hate Hillary Clinton (of course, the average Evangelical's capacity for hatred is itself evidence enough of their religious hypocrisy). I get the ...

Re: Why We Should Be Scared of Evangelicals
There is a really good piece on why Evangelical Christianity remains appealing in Athens & Jerusalem, a relatively new blog: http://athensandjerusalem.typepad.com/weblog/2007/09/of-guilt-and-sa.html. A few comments about some of the fine points you've made above. First, Evangelicals push their beliefs so stridently because they firmly ...
