The death of Michael Jackson and the ensuing struggle between those that want to deify him and those that  pardon the pun  want to bury him for his alleged crimes, opens the door for a much needed discussion about child molestation. Full disclosure: not a fan. A visually compelling artist perhaps, with...

Director of Abiding Truth Ministries, Lively has gone around the world with the message that homosexuals were responsible for Nazi totalitarianism.

The judicial...
Obsession with Carats Nothing speaks subjugation like a man on bended knee, sliding a diamond engagement ring on the finger of his new fiancée. Yet, countless men engage in this emasculating, enslaving ritual every day. When asked why he felt compelled to prostrate himself while pledging to his “better half” a life of devotion,...
Last week on Fox News, Glenn Beck interviewed PETA spokesman Matt Prescott about a UN Report calling out the meat industry as the #1 cause of Global Warming.

I first encountered John Updike through his Roger’s Version, a cosmological and theological treatise disguised as a porno novel. Updike, as he admitted in Roger’s Version, is really a Marcionite Heretic. This ancient heresy, most recently advanced by the German theologian Karl Barth, holds that God is wholly other, completely unapproachable by reason: theology...
Revelations about the mother who recently gave birth to octuplets have occasioned a great deal of public consternation.

Yet, we are seeing a neverending, culture-splitting battle to equate homosexual unions with those between men and women. No matter how you slice it, they’re not equivalent, and that’s...
Marriage-absence is the greatest social and economic problem we face. We often think of this problem in terms of its effects: father-absence, child support problems, tactical child or spousal abuse allegations, or a failure of religion. There are libraries of misdirected books essentially covering downstream problems predominantly driven by marriage-absence, which include poverty for...
Next to complaints from the atheist community that Christmas in any way is being observed on federal property, the Associated Press reporting that yet another segment of the population is mentally ill, signals the official start to winter looms large.

The world of internet search has become a reasonable gauge of a population’s concerns. Obama has almost disappeared from the top of the list and has been replaced by the economy. The shift suggests more than an elemental change in unfolding interests. The first has been a result of serious preoccupation with the new...
Joyce Carol Oates’ “Expensive People†is a flamboyantly and deliberately perverse comic novel born (!) of a an extraordinary premise.
