The Reason for the Season

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And [...]

Camping Out With False Prophets

By the time you read this the world won’t have ended. Harold Camping, president of Family Radio International, has performed a number of calculations based on his understanding of Bible history. He has deduced that May 21, 2011 is 7,000 years since Noah’s flood, and that the Bible says this is judgement day. This is [...]

First Landmark Report Post: Jesus and the Left Revisited

My first piece at the Landmark Report:   My colleague, Cal Chayce, has weighed in on the question of whether or not Jesus was a conservative.

Why I’m Going to CPAC

If you’ve been following the news about CPAC, you know that some social conservative elements, what is sometimes known as the “Religious Right,” are boycotting CPAC this year.

9/11 – A Day That Will Live in Infamy

I was a small boy when JFK was assassinated. The teacher told us the president had been shot, and had been taken to the hospital. We all knew from watching the endless westerns that filled the TV in those days that unless the Good Guy shot the gun out of your hand getting shot meant that [...]

More Signs That Dove World (Koran Burner) is a Cult

I went looking for evidence of a cult at the “church” that was threatening to burn Korans in Florida. When I found the link between the Dove World Outreach Center and Westboro Baptist Church I focused on that. I think the post that resulted was a good story that needed to be told, but it [...]

Koran Burning Church Linked to Westboro Baptist Church

I’ll never be a tenth the expert on cults that my late wife was, but you can’t be married to someone for almost 20 years without learning something about their passions. I could almost taste a cult at Dove World Outreach Center, where they plan to burn Korans.  I began looking to see if there [...]
