In the Name of God: The Extremely and Eternally Loving and Caring The religious hatred I have been seeing in our country has made me very concerned.

In the Name of God: The Infinitely Merciful and Compassionate Beloved Lord I thought, for certain, that Hozier would win “Song of the Year” at the Grammy Awards last night for “Take Me To Church.” Not that I’m disappointed about Sam Smith – whose music I enjoy – but “Church’s” fame continues to be strong.…
