Koran Burning: Right or Wrong?
A non-denominational church will be hosting a mass burning of the Koran, and they've made it a spectacle. -
Politician: “Keep Your Convictions to Yourself”
While the title's not a direct quote, that's the gist of what was said by Representative Lynn Woolsey (D-CA) in a letter to Politico. The essence of this is, "keep your superstitious foolishness to yourselves and leave the governing to us progressives, or we'll steal your money." If you’re wondering where you may have heard of Rep. Woolsey before, she was the one responsible for Cindy Sheehan’s disruption of the 2006 State of the Union address. She had given her sole invitation to Sheehan, despite knowing she was a full-on loon. -
Salvation by Faith…and the Sabbath?
I was greeted at the Christian bookstore where I work this fine Saturday morning with a set of papers stapled together on the table behind the sale counter. It sort of grabbed my attention, as it said in big, bold, all-caps letters, "TELL OTHER CHRISTIANS AND SAVE A SOUL FROM HELL." So immediately I think, "this doesn't look like company material...." -
Brian McLaren needs to butt out
Just got an email that's torqued my lugnuts a bit too much concerning Brian McLaren. In case you're unfamiliar, he's one of the most influential "evangelicals" in America...at least, according to Time magazine. I put "evangelical" in quotes, because, by my reading, the man doesn't seem to have the whole Christian thing figured out yet. -
Merry…winter solstice? I don’t think so.
originally posted December 4th, 2008 For some perverted reason, over the last few years there's not been a Christmas that has gone unspoiled by some tomfoolery. This year (2008), the flashpoint is apparently centered in the Washington State Capital building, where an atheistic organization placed a sign protesting religion in general, Christianity in particular, and Christmas expressly. It's a display that smacks of spiteful children railing about how unfair some fact of life is. -
In Memory of Dottie Rambo
Gospel music has lost yet another of its all-time greats…Dottie Rambo died Sunday when her bus ran off the road while traveling from Missouri to a concert in Texas during inclement weather. She was 74. A legend in both southern gospel and country Christian music, she wrote or co-wrote something in the neighborhood of 2,500 songs. [...] -
“Reverend” Wright steps in it
First of all, according to WordWeb: Noun: Reverend A title of respect for a clergyman. Noun: reverend A member of the clergy and a spiritual leader of the Christian Church This should explain the term in quotations in the article title. It is a title of respect and reverence for the position of a reverend, none of which are [...] -
Hagee != Farrakhan. Find another stupid argument
One of my more foolish habits is watching political television…and, again, the latest thing to irritate my sensibilities was the Hannity & Colmes program. As usual, they’re haranging over Barack Obama and his perceived foibles…of particular note to this writing, his relationship with his pastor, who gave an award to Louis Farrakhan, who has [...] -
A Fundamentalist Worldview
Often times, in discussions online and off, our stated principles, beliefs, and opinions earn us labels. Of course, labeling is a convenient means of categorizing a person and their beliefs in a set group that is easily identifiable, if not very accurate. More often than not is used as a filter…one that [...] -
The Miracle of Christmas
I had planned to put together a commentary on the meaning of the Christmas holiday, but I just read something that nearly threw me into a full-blown Donald Duck conniption: “Archbishop of Canterbury Dismisses Nativity Scene as Nothing but ‘Legend’“. So I felt not only the need for a commentary, but a Sunday school [...] -
Religiocity and the GOP
Yes, I just invented a word especially for the title of this column. Do you like it? Hey, if Jesse Jackson can do it and get away with it, then so can I! What prompted this spontaneous coining of a brand new term (maybe I should copyright it, so as to prevent others from [...] -
Exclusivity is not allowed
So, you might have heard about the latest pile Ann Coulter has stepped in…she basically got in trouble a few weeks ago for saying Jews should become Christians. Read this for more information. The first I heard about it was Jane Hall and Bernie Goldberg on the O’Reilly Factor around two weeks ago. Of [...] -
Multi-culturalism and political-correctness: a match made in hell
This absolutely floored me. Read it, and come right back. It’s ironic that a nation whose past greatness was tied by a former queen to its dependence on the Bible and missionary fervor now does everything it can to hobble those who still dare to believe. “Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate [...] -
Faith bashing, or just a whole bunch of whining?
Okay, so Bobby Jindal, a Republican congressman from Louisiana, is running for governor. As an aside, anybody’s better than the kook still in the gubernatorial mansion in Baton Rouge. Anyway, it seems the Democratic party is tired of getting its collective behind handed to it down there, so they trotted out an ad [...] -
What’s Your Name, Holy God, What’s Your Name?
All due apologies to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Just couldn’t resist that title. Seems like the only blogging I do these days occurs when something I see on television angers me to the point of ranting. And, as usual, the culprit is the Hannity & Colmes show. There was a segment tonight about some Catholic [...] -
Barack Obama is a blithering imbecile
Here’s a hint to politicians (but one that applies to everybody): don’t talk about something you know too little about, or you will come across as a fool. Even my three year-old niece knows when someone’s full of it…her latest favorite word being “moron”. I think it’s absolutely precious! So, what cow pile does [...] -
Oh, irony of ironies!
Astute readers of this blog already know what I’ve written on Mormonism and Mitt Romney in the past (Mitt Romney won’t get my vote) (The loaded term that is “bigotry”). However, I don’t believe I’ve ever mentioned Al Sharpton here. The stars have aligned, and I now feel the time has arrived for [...] -
The loaded term that is “bigotry”
In his latest newsletter Dick Morris proves that he doesn’t quite know everything: …but most seem turned off by his [Mitt Romney's] Mormon faith. While this artifact of bigotry is obscene… No, what’s obscene is the ignorance of most political people when it comes to religion. As much respect as I have for little Dickie as [...] -
In Memory of Roger Bennett
Roger Bennett, prominent Southern gospel pianist for the legendary Cathedrals Quartet, co-founder and pianist for the Legacy Five, and loved son, husband, and father passed away on Saturday, March 17, 2007 at the age of 48. Roger started with the legendary Cathedrals in 1979 as a young, nervous piano player, and aside from a short sabbatical [...] -
Mitt Romney won’t get my vote
I get sick and tired of people on conservative radio and television who bitch and moan about those who hold Mitt Romney’s Mormonism against him. You know, the last time I checked, as an American I have every right to hold anything I want against a political candidate who wants my vote. And [...] -
How not to debunk a religion
Have you heard of the latest attempt to destroy Christianity? Apparently some people have decided to make a big deal over an ossuary that supposedly held the remains of Jesus and His family. Books have now come out, and James Cameron of Titanic and Terminator fame has a new documentary coming out talking [...] -
Committing to What’s Right
I was listening to Laura Ingraham’s show this afternoon…which, if you’re a listener, I can explain it as a weird oddity of the local talk station: one hour comes on at 9 and the other at 2 after Limbaugh. The show featured an exchange between Wolf Blitzer and Vice President Dick Cheney. At the end of [...] -
What’s wrong with taking a stand? Everything, apparently.
I don’t understand why people hate it when others take stands for something they feel is important. While browsing the internet with the TV on, I overheard a story about how conservative Judaism will now allow openly gay rabbis. While it really isn’t much to me, as I’m not a Jew, I can’t help but [...] -
“If I Were the Devil”
The following is a collation of an essay read by Paul Harvey some years back. There was a version read over the air that differed and added to written copies I’ve read before, so I took it, combined the two in a manner that seemed best to me, and submitted it to this [...] -
Ever wonder what it is I believe?
From time to time, I’m asked what I truly believe with regards to faith and religion. I’ve made it clear by a history of posts on the subject of faith, but these aren’t always easy to find for folks with whom I’ve had little history. My church recently ratified a new church constitution (which will [...] -
BIKER CHURCH!
Yes, friends, it’s BIKER CHURCH! I’ve been laughing over this for a whole month, since the first sign was put up. Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with an outreach towards folks who ride two-wheelers. It’s just funny.
