Rock For LifeNo, that’s not what you think it is. And, no, you wouldn’t want to know what those were, anyway. Feminist Fantasies is a brilliant collection of Phyllis Schlafly’s articles, columns, and Congressional testimony. If you’re looking for some enlightening, frequently amusing, and frequently disturbing reading on feminism and its cultural and moral bankruptcy, I recommend [...]

Does that title have a double meaning? Oh, those “backwards” Africans. But surely they’ll continue to let us condescend to them for the rest of the trip! Nope, sorry: “hospitality withdrawn.” The Rev Christopher Newlands, chaplain to Bishop Gladwin, and not part of the Kenya visit, said: “We are shocked but are trying to see [...]
You have to love litigation as the cure-all for ecclesiastical problems. In Dallas, two members of a church called “Watermark” are suing to prevent the pastor from talking to other people about their sins, which, according to the story, they “thought they had revealed…to Watermark’s pastor confidentially.” I don’t know all the details of how [...]
For those individuals who have not gotten “lost” in Lost, the ABC television series, I wonder what they think this picture is all about? It depicts some action from last night’s season finale.
On a recent post, Jean-Martin asked about educating people in (LCMS) congregations, especially when American evangelicalism has become so pervasive. (There is certainly something amiss when more LCMS people know what the 40 Days of Purpose is than know what the Smalcald Articles are.) I do not claim any expertise. All I’ve got is eight [...]
Are all the people on the left this unthinking? I know there are lots of people on the right who have trouble with logical thought (like Pat Robertson), but, seriously, this is ridiculous. I am 99.9% sure (I haven’t asked him) that Anthony B. Robinson, a pastor in the UCC, is against theocracy in North [...]
President Bush is “losing his base,” or so we’ve been told. (I’m sure it’s in other places as well, but this is one of the latest.) There are a number of things at work here. First, politicians pandering to their constituencies. Is the President doing that? He doesn’t have any re-election worries, other than keeping [...]
A while ago there was blogging about churches. Now there’s blogging about the Bible. Both, I think, are interesting. David Plotz at Slate is blogging what’s really in the Bible. He realizes, after reading about the rape of Dinah, that he didn’t really know the Bible all that well, even though he felt like he [...]
Good stuff from Mr. Gibson: 200 or so students at Boston College, along with some professors, will be protesting her presence at Boston College, protesting especially the school conferring upon her an honorary doctorate. Why? The students say they object to her presence because she doesn’t represent their values. An adjunct professor and part-time novelist [...]
Some commenters below raised questions about various aspects of the law in Black Jack. I had not read the law, and my comments had to do somewhat superficially with the actual case. I was more concerned with Black Jack’s definition of family. Here’s the actual definition from their Code of Ordinances: “Family. An individual or [...]
