The Andromeda Strain, Yes. Jesus, No. Your Tax Dollars at Work.

You have heard about the need for the separation of church and state. What about the separation of science and state? But science is neutral, we are told. Suuuuure it is. Scientists are impartial searchers of truth. Suuuuure they are. The space program above earth’s gravity is a Darwinist boondoggle. The money spent by the [...]

Rev. Jim Wallis: Liberal Patsy for the World Plutocrats

Jim Wallis is the most terminally naïve public figure I have seen over the last 45 years. Nobody else comes close. Every year, he gets invited to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. It is the annual meeting of the richest and most powerful people on earth. Why do they invite Wallis? Wallis is [...]

Christianity in the Middle East: Persecution Escalates

America’s wars in the Middle East have resulted in the widespread persecution of Christians in the region. When George W. Bush called America’s response to September 11 a crusade, this revived memories of medieval invasions. Islamic nations are the main persecutors, but some regions in India have also joined in.

It took the threat of legal action, coupled with a public relations campaign by the Rutherford Institute, to persuade the Phoenix city council to [...]

Christians in Conflict: Greens vs. Contractualists

The Greens have recruited an interfaith council of liberal Jews, liberal Protestants, liberal Orthodox, and Liberal Roman Catholics. These people have formed an organization to make big civil government even more intrusive in our lives. This is The National Religious Partnership for the Environment. There is a rival organization of conservative, Bible-believing activists, whose economics [...]

Home Schools and the Tea Party

Gary North’s Reality Check I have just read the best article in National Review that I can remember in the last 40 years. Of course, this is not saying a great deal, because I stopped reading National Review about 40 years ago. I used to write for it occasionally. My introduction to the magazine was in the [...]
