  • 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 ...

  • The 3 responses a creationist has to this type of evidence

    Christopher - I recall you saying in a debate that when you are against a creationist, you find it best to ''highlight and underline'' this point rather then argue it. I have occasionally accepted the putrid distinction of arguing (not 'debating') the evolution case in front of creationist audiences (at the grandiloquent Liberty University) and I ...

  • Too Broad A Brush Stroke, Archbishop

    The Archbishops use of Beth Din to justify sharia demonstrates his complete lack of understanding of Jewish Orthodoxy, and is, ultimately, an insult, to Judaism. Jews have always submitted to the law of the land where ever they migrated. The Orthodox take only religious matters to the Beth Din. If a mutilations, beatings or “honor crimes” were ...

Wright Jr.—this bizarre outfit describes itself as ''Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian'' and speaks of ''a chosen people'' whose nature we are allowed to assume is ''Afrocentric.'' '' Obviously ...

  • I agree- but...

    I agree with the position taken by the author that Mitt needs to talk more about his religion. Religion is one of those things that helps form the core of many people. Therefore understanding Mitt's religion can help us understand who he is and what he will stand for if elected. That being said, however, I fundamentally disagree with the manner ...

  • Hitchens-Craig-Restrooms

    Ok, so the only guy on the planet that could make this discussion from the top-of-the-mind would be Hitchens. But, I am still sick of reading, watching the awesome deadlocked media fixation on this guy's death spiral into the toilet, so to speak. Enough. My God, Do we have to all be drug down into the debasement of this guy and his toilet ...

  • Liberal vs. Liberation

    Liberal theology and liberation theology are two different understandings with distinct histories and views. Liberal theology did, indeed, grow out of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was the purview of European white males. Influenced by Darwin's theory of evolution, liberal theologians believed that humankind was continually making ...
