  • What Do Christian Republicans Want?

    Just finished ''God's Harvard.'' But it left one big question unanswered: If they had political power, what would these folks do with America? Let's say Christian Republicans win the presidency and veto-proof, fillibuster-proof control of Congress - what will they do? Obviously, abortion: outlawed. But beyond that, would I even recognize ...

  • Hanna Cops Out

    Hanna, you owe David Kuo an apology for bailing on the debate. What's more, I think your last-minute evasion shows the shallowness of your approach to writing about evangelicals. If you're going to be my guide to a group like Patrick Henry students, I expect you to think through their positions, digest them, and present the implications. To pose ...

  • Re: God's Harvard-Patrick Henry

    No, actually BenK didn't summarize my views. I will address his points by number. 1. No one's life is meaningless, whether they are a Christian or not. Everyone has the God-given ability to do good things, whether they are a believer or not. A saved sinner is not wounded by any means. A saved sinner is better than healed. A person who is not ...

  • God's Harvard-Patrick Henry

    As a former Patrick Henry student, I found Hanna's answer very interesting. Though I did not personally know her, some of my friends did and liked her. The idea that PHC students are scary makes me laugh. What I think is really scary is the idea that being an evangelical Christian would disqualify a person from being a good public servant. Hanna ...
