The Real Culprit
“Religion kills, but so does cancer, old age, hunting accidents, radiation from the sun, other predatory species, too much mayonnaise, and the music of Andrew Lloyd Weber. Actually, we need to use the wide-angle lens and admit that it is Evolution that kills” (God Is, p. 10).
Silent Pulpits Not Really Silent
“What is certain is that the pulpit has political influence, even if nothing remotely connected with politics is ever uttered from it . . . The neutrality of the pulpit is impossible” (Stott, Between Two Worlds, p. 168).

Psalm Off Results
Apologies to all for the delay in announcing the results of our Psalm-Off contest. We had some technical challenges in getting the entries to our judges, plus some other issues, and so I wasn’t able to announce anything last Friday as we had said we would do. My bad. Let us break this out into …

“I believe I also know how to make a metaphor crawl up your back and make an unpleasant smacky noise in your ear” (God Is, p. 2).
