Is your church to cool
by JeffT ini just read this, thought it was really good.. http://www.relevantmagazine.com/god/church/features/26050-is-your-church-too-cool.
how a pursuit of relevance can undermine authentic community.. people sometimes assume that because im a progressive 30-year-old who enjoys mumford and sons and has no children, i must want a super-hip churchyou know, the kind thats called thrive or be, and which boasts an awesome worship experience, a fair-trade coffee bar, its own iphone app and a pastor who looks like a jonas brother.. while none of these features are inherently wrong (and can of course be used by good people to do good things), these days i find myself longing for a church with a cool factor of about 0. .
i want a church that includes fussy kids, old liturgy, bad sound, weird congregants andbrace yourselfpainfully amateur special music now and then.. .

by JWB inthe catholic church and "crimine solicitationies".
"it was a policy adopted formally by the vatican in 1962. joseph ratzinger then as a priest helped formulate it.
it says that when children are harmed in any catholic parish anywhere in the world, the priest and the bishop are under papal order to suppress the evidence of that, to hide ... well to protect the child rapist.

Christopher Hitchens vs Kim Jong Il
by whereami inafter the despicable gloating over hitchens corpse i wonder if christians could forgive kim jong il if he had a death bed conversion.
according to many, honestly accepting jesus as your personal lord and saviour is all that is required to enter paradise in the afterworld.
is this truly moral?

Dissecting The Demagoguery About 'Tax Cuts For The Rich'
by botchtowersociety intestimony before the senate finance committee from one of my favorite thinkers:.
dissecting the demagoguery about 'tax cuts for the rich'by thomas sowell posted 07/18/2011 06:20 pm et.
democrats' insistence that the "rich" pay more in taxes is rivaled only by republicans' apparent inability or unwillingness to engage them on this specific issue.
