I’ve had discussions before with folks who ask me if I ever really think the Church will be persecuted in the U.S. My answer is yes and gay rights will be the wedge issue. A Washington state florist who refused to sell flowers to a gay couple for their wedding has been sued by [...] L’Osservatore Romano via Getty Images “He *said to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter.” 8 Peter *said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash [...] Polar Bear Face Palm Go here and read this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2294560/The-great-green-1-The-hard-proof-finally-shows-global-warming-forecasts-costing-billions-WRONG-along.html “The graph confirms there has been no statistically significant increase in the world’s average temperature since January 1997.” Some Brits seem to be getting a little irritated on the billions of pounds wasted on this malarkey, and, the article doesn’t address this, but [...]
ARTURO MARI/AFP/Getty Images It seems the Vatican made an unfortunate choice in buying some new digs… A day ahead of the papal conclave, faces at the scandal-struck Vatican were even redder than usual after it emerged that the Holy See had purchased a €23 million (£21 million) share of a Rome apartment block that [...]
Sir Thomas More by Hans Holbein (1527) Thomas More — defender of religious liberty (at least as seen by most). The Thomas More Society of Richmond, Virginia gave a replica of More’s cap to Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. Guess what headgear Scalia was sporting this morning to Obama’s Second Inauguration? That’s right: [...] Supreme Court denies Hobby Lobby request for reprieve from health care mandate, Denied pending the appeal, but indicative of nothing conservatives didn’t already expect from Sotomayor. Share on Facebook It’s been a terribly sad & grief-stricken 24 hours. I’ve put aside my Five thoughts for today, and ask instead that we share our favorite hymns and songs of inspiration and consolation… How Great Thou Art: I’ve always thought of this as the most powerful — and the toughest! — hymn to get through. Elvis [...] Share on Facebook Today in my World Geography class, in the South Asian chapter we’ll also be talking about a certain “lucky” Hindu symbol… from the canceled 2010 NBC comedy Outsourced. Share on Facebook I swear lefties are so full of crap they are all a bunch of brown-eyed Susans. Remember the good ol’ days when folks in the media were fond of telling us that conservative evangelical Christians would exhibit anti-Mormon bigotry and fail to vote for Mitt Romney simply because of his religion? Well now that conservative [...] Galilee Before The Holy Office by Joseph-Nicolas Robert-Fleury Six Italian scientists and a government official were found guilty and face up to 6 years in prison today for manslaughter. Their crime?… wait for it… causing the deaths of individuals for failing to predict the L’Aquila Earthquake in 2009. A group of scientists are [...] Gabba, gabba Hey, Threedonia! All y’all have got to read this, http://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/opinions/dear-sarah-silverman/2012/10/11/ and this, http://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/opinions/rosenblatt-v-silverman-a-culture-war/2012/10/17/ (A smidgen below, but read both then meet me back here to kvetch.) “Dear Sarah, You have grown political as of late, and your politics have traction. Your YouTube video “Let My People Vote” has been viewed more than 1.4 [...] The real debate between Faith and Reason is not taking place in the Christian religion — or even in Islam… no, the real conflict is in the religion of environmentalism… Electric cars might cause as much or more pollution than conventional gas vehicles, according to researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. According [...] Calling Indiana Jones! An ancient Buddhist statue that a Nazi expedition brought back from Tibet shortly before World War II was carved from a meteorite that crashed on Earth thousands of years ago. What sounds like an Indiana Jones movie plot appears to have actually taken place, according to European researchers publishing in [...] Rick Warren, Senior Pastor of Saddleback Church in Southern California, has canceled this year’s scheduled Presidential Forum between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. He initially cited the hypocrisy of being civil for 2 hours in a dirty campaign, but then got down to brass tacks. From the Orange County Register: Q. You said you [...] Whoops, guess trusting Adam Sandler songs not the best way to know if someone’s really Jewish — half, a quarter or even converted … not like Rod Carew. In 1994, comedian Adam Sandler’s “Chanukah Song” listed a who’s who of notable Jews of the 20th century, which included the former Minnesota Twins and California Angels [...] Undoubtedly some do — just as undoubtedly some do not. Quantifying the issue would be difficult, but researchers in two different studies trying to measure the concept concluded that their thoughts do turn more religious when confronted with “reminders of death”. Agnostic folks do more so than atheists which makes sense. Anyway, here’s the [...] This is troubling. Circumcising young boys on religious grounds amounts to grievous bodily harm, a German court ruled Tuesday in a landmark decision that the Jewish community said trampled on parents’ religious rights. The regional court in Cologne, western Germany, ruled that the “fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighed the fundamental rights [...] (I hope I have the quote in the title correct.) A friend forwarded this to me and I found it very inspiring. I really recommend watching this. If you are Catholic I think you will find the message inspirational. If you are a practitioner of another religion you will find the support [...] THis is no joke… Patheos blogger (at Unequally Yoked) and atheist Leah Libresco has become a Christian. She posted her last blog for Patheos’ atheist portal on Monday here: For several years, a lot of my friends have been telling me I had an inconsistent and unsustainable philosophy. ”A virtue ethicist atheist whose transhumanism [...] |
