Time is up on another self prophecy of the end by an evangelical Christian leader. Jerry Falwell predicted in January of 1999 that the “Second coming of Christ probably will be within 10 years.” Falwell was wrong. He also made another prophecy about the Anti-Christ being Jewish and alive at the time . On that count, too, Falwell is most likely wrong. However, the most disturbing statement...

In the wake of the Ft. Hood shootings, which are looking more and more to have been influenced at least to some degree by shooter Nidal Hasan's increasing affiliation and correspondence with extremist anti-American Islamist clerics, Dinesh D'Souza has popped up with a USA Today editorial that demonstrates — again — how poor a thinker he can be when attempting both to defend theism from...

A couple of hours later I took off in the Mooney heading for Lynchburg's Falwell Airport. It's a short flight and I climbed to 7500' to cross the Appalachian's and the Blue Ridge. The weather was mostly clear and with the autopilot on I could spend my time looking out for other aircraft and at the scenery...in that order of course. After I cleared the Blue Ridge it was time to come down for my approach...

It's Tuesday, and that means I have the license and permission of the internet (or at least Keely and her friends) to just type random thoughts.I have a flannel shirt I have owned since my son was almost four. As we learned yesterday, he is now 17. That makes this particular flannel shirt 13 years old. THIRTEEN years old!! It's frayed around the edges and now it has a slight hole in the elbow

Twenty-five years ago, at the height of the AIDS crisis, there were hundreds—thousands—of gay men walking around with two or three T cells and six-months-or-less to live. The religious right was doing what it always does: it's worst, demonizing gay people, kicking us when we were down, attacking us on the airwaves and in Congress, and neglecting us to death at the White House. Those were...

Last year, Jerry Falwell Jr. declared that he wanted to see Liberty University "go down in history as the college that elected a president" and set about registering students to vote, canceling classes on election day, and busing them to the polls. It didn't matter, as John McCain lost the state of Virginia , but Falwell was undetered and decided to do the same thing this year , canceling...

Christopher Hitchens writes about his recent engagements with 'right wing' Christians ( here ). I haven't yet run into an argument that has made me want to change my mind. After all, a believing religious person, however brilliant or however good in debate, is compelled to stick fairly closely to a "script" that is known in advance, and known to me, too.
