Church Shopping
Just like Paul Says in Timothy that people will be looking for someone to tickle their ears. With all that's going on, how can people be so blind, so much in denial? Is it fear of drastic change? or Maybe they will have to give up their petty little life in exchange for a glorious one? The Bible says also that people will be turning away from God ...

Hitchens lets his passion undermine his point
These rants from Hitchens have entertainment value, I suppose, but as with all of today's opinion-driven media they must be taken with a grain of salt. A lot could be written, but I'll just focus on one point here: Hitchens is mistaken to think that a failure to conflate Mormonism with Christianity indicates bigotry. The teachings of Mormonism ...

Fantastic article!
Someone tell me why those in the USA who try so hard to get the 10 commandments posted all over in our public square and taught to our kids in school break so many of them trying to get that done? And also fight so hard to take money from the poor and middle class and put in the hands of the rich? And also to keep corporate greed-based health ...

Vintage Hitchens destroys Gov Palin's remains
Mr Hitchens warns us of his ire with the 2 year campaign in his 1st sentence which goes far from being soured gastric juices. A manufacturing chemist who works daily with the most toxic compounds will identiy the composition of Mr Hitchins's 1st sentence for us shortly. I wish to be enlightened. Sarah Palin's remains, political & earthly, ...

Sarah Palin & the Republican Party
It's taken me a couple of days to sort out my feelings but now I realize what's been troubling me. It's grief - recognition of complete hopelessness. I'm a registered Democrat now, have been for a while now. But at heart, I was still a Republican, hoping for the Republican Party to right itself, come back to center, to sanity. I was born into ...

Well, That's Good News for Dems and Catholics Both
I did not need to read this article, to take immediate notice when 1) Gov. Casey's Son spoke at the Democratic Convention this year, in contrast to the first Bill Clinton Convention in 1992; and 2) Joe Biden was picked to join this 2008 Ticket with Obama. Both were welcome developments to me, and I have the sensitivities on these pro-Abort ...

RE: Spammed and Prudie's Advice
I shouldn't be surprised at the blatant subjective information held within the advice to Spammed regarding the emails from his family member, but pointing to an article from the Washington Post as ''proof'' of any candidates religious/spiritual affiliation is a joke. And going one step further, pointing them to that candidate's own website as ...

Hitch On Helms like White on Rice
Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

Lieing Hypocrites
What an article. Talk about no research. Did the author just call up the JW PR department and copy down everything they told him? Yes, the Watchtower Society promoted the fact that the poor Witnesses in the African country of Malawi were being persecuted because they were told by the Watchtower not to buy a political I.D. card. If they did the ...

Salvation don't come cheap.
The central problem with Scientology and other cults is that there is no distinction between the religion and the faith. You must pay (handsomely) to obtain Scientology's salvation (it's ''freedom'' concept). There's no room for penniless Scientologists. Judaism, Islam, Christianity ... they all manage to separate the organized religion from the ...
