Brian over at the Banty Rooster wrote me privately, and believing his question to be quite a reasonable one, I am taking the liberty of answering him publicly. Here is Brian: “I appreciate the clarification of your position re: homosexuality. I notice, however, that in reminding readers of what your original article actually said, you …
Can’t Keep A Secret Anymore
So check out the “news in brief” at Lark News. Looks like everybody is on to us now.
But Secularism Really Is Ugly
In the world of postmodern politics, truth does not matter — and pressure does. One of the reasons postmodern theorists say that all truth constructions are really just disguised power grabs is to disable any who oppose them. Once the decks are cleared for action, up they jump with their own construction which (mysteriously) is …
Lady Huntington
Whenever Lt. William Morris was angry, he would simply swallow and grow a little colder. An intense and disciplined man, he was not given to outbursts, but the anger was still there, each incident taking it a little deeper. Hungry for glory, he had surpassed heroism in several encounters with the Royal Navy, and was …
Christ in the Public Square
The Banty Rooster is glad for my clarification on “owning the curse” the other day, and has no real problem with my position now, as clarified.

That all-purpose word is now supposed to represent anyone or anything that opposes or interferes with their agenda. And if …
Home Grown Hatred
An insightful correspondent noted something peculiar about the charges against the Australian evangelicals that I wrote about yesterday. They were guilty of an offending statement, which he tinkered around with, substituting words like Bible for words like Koran, and Christ Church for things like Islam. What we find is some compelling evidence of some home-grown …
Seething With Hatreds
The province of Victoria in Australia passed a “Racial and Religious Tolerance Act,” which now looks to end in what happening? You guessed it — several evangelical teachers going to jail. A judge has ordered these two Christians to apologize for comments they made in a seminar on Islam or face some jail time. Check …
Lambs and Geese, Foxes and Wolves
Also in this morning’s paper was an editorial response of mine to the column of Rose Huskey and Saundra Lund last Saturday. Here it is: If I might, I would like to briefly respond to Rose Huskey and Saundra Lund, who served up a veritable casserole of charges to your readers on Saturday last. This …
