There’s an important article in the Politico , titled, “Obama invokes Jesus more than Bush.†President Barack Obama, says the article, has mentioned Jesus Christ “in a number of high-profile public speeches,†more so than did President George W. Bush, and in much less “innocuous contexts.†Obama has done so in order to promote...
President Barack Obama plans to call for an improved dialogue with Islam in his upcoming speech in Egypt. All faiths would benefit from greater understanding. Yet no conversation will be complete if it does not address Islam’s persecution of Christians, Jews, and other religious minorities. Western efforts to reach out to Islam are increasing....
Americans have long been fascinated with and sometimes disturbed by the faith of their presidents, and Barack Obama’s faith is no exception.

In his article, Where Are They? Why I Hope the Search for Extraterrestrial Life Finds Nothing (PDF here), Oxford University’s Nick Bostrom has raised some very troubling questions.

Those who demand tolerance from traditional America reveal themselves to be wholly intolerant of any opposing viewpoint. And as they hysterically decry as “hate†even the mildest form of disapproval on the grounds that it supposedly denies them their “right†to engage in every form of aberrant activity, it is they who employ hostile...
Over the past few years I have had the privilege to have known a native Ugandan missionary named Mike Wangolo. He is the leader of a team of Africans called Afri-Tendo (http://www.thrustministries.org/) who make periodic trips to the United States to witness to Americans through native songs and dances. During his travels he has...
Seeking moral legitimacy for a practice that, in every one of its forty-million plus iterations has resulted in the death of an innocent unborn child, the abortion advocacy has seized upon fetal stem cell ?science? as a means of elevating itself to the standing of decency and honor.

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...
Tupelo, MS – Television station WSYX in Columbus, Ohio, has delayed a decision on airing a television program produced by American Family Association (AFA).

Anyone wondering why marriage is passé and illegitimacy is at record levels can find the answer in the recent case of the unmarried California mother with six test-tube children who just launched octuplets with the help of an unethical feminist fertility clinic.

Every time it seems the so-called Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is about to join the “world community,†the regime in Pyongyang reminds us of its criminal nature. A North Korean soldier not long ago shot and killed a South Korean tourist. Pyongyang naturally stonewalled Seoul’s call for an investigation. But most grotesque is...
