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 ...

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 ...

Holocaust and the establishment of the Jewish state
''Dispensationalism'' as such is a relatively new theology finding is birth in the late 1890's. Most Christians around the world have rejected it--if they heard of it at all.

If this were a buyers guide to cars or ...

Mike's Buyers Guide to God - Part II
Unless you follow St. Augustine of Hippo or John Calvin, who, by the way, never even made Saint, let alone Patron Saint of Brewers as Augustine did, you have something called free will and, yes, that's an enormous burden as well as an empowering freedom. And, for God's sake, if you're firmly in that predestination camp, pass this on at once to ...

Very well written, but...
The so-called Mormon views that are focused on are hardly the core of the Mormon gospel. Rather, they are the version of Mormonism that SBC pamphlets would like to focus on. If you want to know what Mormons really believe, read the Articles of Faith, written by Joseph Smith in response to a request for clarity by Mr. Wentworth of the Chicago ...

There is only one way to heaven
In the Holy Bible, which is the only inspired word of God, Jesus says ''I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'' John 14:6. This means that unless you confess you are a sinner to God and accept the Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, you cannot be born again and enter into heaven. God ...
