I know I haven’t exactly posted regularly in recent weeks, but it might be a while until I can get online. We’ll be on the West Coast for pretty much the entire month of June.
On the other hand, there are lots of weird things going on in the world, so it can’t be too long [...]

Lauren Green: Chastity or Not; or, Love versus Sex
Posted in Culture, Media, Sex, tagged Lauren Green on 27 May 2007 | 1 Comment »
Lauren Green is a “religion correspondent” for Fox News. (Yeah, religion is nice–as long as it is relegated to its proper religious area.)
She does a pretty good job most of the time. This column, citing Dawn Eden, is especially good.
We are built for intimate, loving relationships. Our whole being cries out for it. That’s why [...]
Mollie Hemingway, Again

She is on the pulse of the newspapers with regard to ethical qualms about abortion. In this post, the topic is “selective reduction,” or, what the sane people call “killing the brother(s) or sister(s) of the other children in your womb.” What a devastating account to read.
Evans plunged the second needle into Emma’s belly. “See [...]

I wonder if it costs anything to join Minnesotans for Fred Thompson? (Here’s his article for NR.)

Refusing to be Silent in Delaware

This from First Things. There are some things on both sides of which Christians cannot be. I am not saying they are not Christians if they hold these views; I am saying they are not Christian views. Killing human beings, at whatever stage of life, for the sake of “helping” other humans is one of [...]
Another Commendation

This time, it’s for fellow Lutheran Mollie Hemingway at Get Religion. It’s hard not to allow at least a smile at the twitching and squirming of the pro-choice-to-kill-your-children advocates. It gets a little uncomfortable when it actually comes down to staking your position on principles other than unbridled freedom, doesn’t it?

A reading from the First Book of Balaam 18:1 (New Revised Substandard Perversion): “And the Talking Donkey must suffer many things, and be handed over to exams and papers and moving boxes…”

What a Surprise!
Posted in Christianity, Culture, Denominations, Homosexuality, News, tagged James McGreevey on 3 May 2007 | 4 Comments »
In a “shocking” “reversal” of previous policy, the Episcopalian seminary in New York, General Theological Seminary, has accepted former NJ governor James McGreevey (you know, the guy who resigned because he was having a homosexual affair?) into its discernment process to be a priest. He became Episcopalian this past Sunday. He was Roman Catholic, but, [...]
