It is the belief of some fringe protestant group—possible the Amish—that claim that “Satan travels true wires” so if you don’t have electricity, he can’t target you. I’m starting to think they might have a point. Earlier this week I was reading articles on Blastr.com. I often visit this website to see what movies are…

The Times of the Gentiles
Folks, I just can’t catch a break. I was minding my own business, as best I can at the church Bible study last night and presto, yet another time when we as modern Christians can’t let the Bible define terms but have to project stuff into the text that it plainly never says. The study…

They are systematically burning villages and murdering their inhabitants. Those that survive these raids end up either as refugees or slaves. The raiders are using guns, machetes, spears…

After just three episodes, NBC has pulled the plug on its controversial series, The Book of Daniel. The show featured an Episcopal minister addicted to Vicodin with a drug dealing daughter and prominently featured homosexuality and adultery.

Eric Hogue was exploring the merits and shortfalls of California holding “mail-in” elections for the June primary and possibly other elections in the future. This idea is being floated in some recently introduced legislation that is expected to be debated later this year. This idea is bad for a variety of reasons; some which exist…
