  • 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 ...

  • Re: But the Biblical Teaching on Righteous Anger

    But even the New Testament teaching on Righteous Anger (moneychangers in the temple) contradicts that absolute claim to non-violence. Jesus is perfectly violent, intolerant and even hateful in his dealing with those that are ''desacrating'' the sacred. And that inherently (combined with Revelations, and Acts) gives succor to anything but ...

  • Re: I don't see how

    ...[I]t is hard to deny that this view of their religion is nevertheless an evolution of christian faith, based on reinterpretations of scripture and doctrines to accommodate modern views. This perspective might seem more cuddly and less open to attack from Hitchens and other anti-religious people but in fact it only highlights the ...

  • When Will Hitch Debate a Non-Calvinist Non-Creationist?

    There are many Christians who aren't Creationists, aren't Calvinists, and who don't fuse their faith with their politics. I hope Hitch finds himself on stage with one of those one of these days. I'd offer St. Paul, Minnesota's Greg Boyd as an example: http://www.youtube.com/deepcoffee#p/u/0/3_76SlSwZU8

  • Shame On You, Christopher Hitchens...

    I have been a fan and student of Mr. Hitchens for some time. I have followed his writing and have been moved by the level of intellect and wisdom he has been able to inject into the zeitgeist. Lately, however, the unflappable veneer of Mr. Hitchens has begun to fray. I am no fan of evangelical Christianity or conservative Christians in general. ...

  • Obama + Warren = Genius

    The President Elect made an inspired choice in choosing conservative minister Rick Warren to pray - here's why: Rick Warren is incredibly popular among not only conservative Christians but also moderates as well. In this, he is a fig leaf to the conservative Christian base that are feeling alienated in defeat. Rick Warren, while conservative, is ...

  • Another question for creationists

    I've been wondering lately if supporters of creationism and a literal interpretation of the Christian bible can believe that intelligent (there's that word again!) life might exist in other parts of the universe. If so, did they get the same deal from God as humans on earth did? You know, original sin...a redeeemer...and possible eternal salvation ...

  • News Flash: Christopher Hitchens Seeks Catholic Confessional

    I was surprised to read Christopher Hitchens today, riding high on his moral horse as to the political, cultural and economic predations of Maximum Leader Robert Mugabe in his current Country of Residence, Zimbabwe. What people like Hitchens never seem to understand, is that morality is never just for other people, or leaders, or religious types. ...

  • Apotheocracy & Israel

    As Hitchens implies that the death of Israel will come at the hands of the thanatocracies of the Middle East, another transcendental geo-strategic trend is convenientally masked by the Western powers. How does a tiny nation of 6 million, 4 million who are Jews, in a sea of 150 million Arabs, get 10s of billions from America annually, billions ...

  • Oh Hitchens, Off the Reservation Again, Are We?

    Hilary Clinton will make a great President, and it is only a matter of time now before that happens. I speak as the American who picked both her and Ronald Reagan for the job, so I think I know what I am talking about. Supporters of Obama and McCain will just have to get used to my choice of Hilary for President, just as I have had to accommodate ...
