We do, indeed, have a lot to be thankful for. I am amazed at how few these days remember to whom we owe thanks. Our Associate Pastor last Sunday referred to Thanksgiving as a secular holiday. If pastors don’t remember, then who will?
Here’s a video starring T. J. Thyne (Dr. Hodgins on [...]

Religion and Reason
Posted in Religion, tagged Reason, Religion on September 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Ever since the Enlightenment, a standard line has been that religion is irrational; if only we could get rid of it, rationality would reign. Recent studies cast doubt on that view:
From Hollywood to the academy, nonbelievers are convinced that a decline in traditional religious belief would lead to a smarter, more scientifically literate and [...]

Britain’s Channel 4 visited mosques to find out what was being preached and taught, and discovered disturbing evidence that Saudi-funded mosques convey hate-filled political messages.
A female reporter attends prayer meetings at an important British mosque which claims to be dedicated to moderation and dialogue with other faiths. She secretly films shocking sermons given to the [...]

Religion in America

The Pew Center has released a report on religion in America. Among the interesting findings:
A majority of those who are affiliated with a religion, for instance, do not believe their religion is the only way to salvation. And almost the same number believes that there is more than one true way to interpret the [...]
Professors Rule

Peter 1 tackles the puzzling question of why the Left in Western countries has been so sympathetic with Islamic radicalism. He starts with the observation that “It is becoming increasingly obvious that the progressives ruling Europe are deliberately transforming the continent into a Muslim land.” He offers two explanations. The first:
There is [...]
Obama’s Exodus

The Obamas have resigned from Trinity United Church. There’s a list of reactions here. Peter Wehner:
Barack Obama’s resignation from Trinity United Church of Christ over, in part, “a cultural and a stylistic gap” raises additional doubts about him. The obvious question is what “cultural and stylistic gap” exists now that hasn’t existed during [...]

Five hundred fifty five years ago today, Constantinople fell to the invading Muslim armies, which would eventually overrun most of Eastern Europe and, in 1529, 1566, and 1683, threaten Vienna and the rest of Europe. My own ancestors (on my father’s side) were already under Muslim domination, where they would remain for almost five [...]
News from the Church of England
Posted in Religion, tagged Britain, Christianity, Islam, Reason on May 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Maybe the Archbishop of Canterbury was right. The Church of England sees an Islamic future—and sees the government as the chief cause.
If recent reports of trends in religious observance prove to be correct, then in some 30 years the mosque will be able to claim that, religiously speaking, the UK is an Islamic nation, [...]
Steyn in Vancouver—One Time Only!

Wretchard quotes Mark Steyn, speaking in Vancouver before he goes on trial:
What we’re up against is not primarily defined by what’s going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those are still essentially military campaigns and we’re good at those. … it might be truer to say that this is a Cold Civil War – by which [...]
