Chuck Norris and the ‘Lost’ Gospels

It has recently come to my attention that there's a fascination with jokes about Mr. Norris.  The origin of this craze appears to be a mystery but here's a few samplers:
 When the boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he [...]

Colson and the Emergents

This article by Chuck Colson talks about some evangelicals' aversion to absolute truth.  I'm sure Pontius, 'what is truth?',Pilate would have the same aversion.

Heracles, Atalanta, Jason, Ricky…

What do these 4 people have in common? They're all Argonauts.  The last is one in the modern sense, as in a member of the Toronto Argonauts, that city's Canadian Football League franchise.
How far has Ricky fallen?  I was there at Texas when he was having NCAA rushing records for breakfast.  I was at the game [...]

God is whatever we want Him to be

The title of this post is the the title of the first chapter of a certain book, which I am currently reading.  In said chapter, the author (who for the moment shall remain nameless) makes the following observation:

Allow me to expand on a possible explanation for this.  From what I understand, throughout Church history there has been resentment towards the Jews because they 'killed' Jesus the Christ.  If I'm not mistaken (if I [...]

A Possible Explanation for Anti-Semitism

I started reading a book today titled, "The Bible Jesus Read" by Philip Yancey.  In it, he references another book ("The Meditation of Christ&quot by Thomas Torrence in which Torrence gives a possible explanation for anti-Semitism.  I had figured that the Jews have been persecuted because they are the chosen people, much like the [...]

Butterfly in the sky, I can fly twice as high…

Having just finished Professor Olasky’s book, “The Religions Next Door,” I now have a newfound appreciation for the man as an author. I enjoyed his columns (read his latest here) but now I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed one of his books. I recommend it to anyone who wishes to learn [...]

Moral Clarity

A study in contrast involving the handling of 2 cases in North Carolina:  The UNC alum who ran over some students (in the name of allah, of course) v. the Duke lacrosse team 'scandal.' 

Shocking!

Michelle Malkin wrote a column about a very shocking news item regarding a blatant attempt to drag the troops' name through the mud.  By the way when you go to the website where this guy's video was posted, you'll find a dead link, shocking isn't it?
