A powerful statement against waterboarding; a powerful indictment of Christian silence in the face of torture… all from a very evangelical evangelical: During the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing on his nomination as attorney general, Michael Mukasey was asked “Is waterboarding constitutional? Mukasey answered: “I don’t know what is involved in the technique. If waterboarding is…

Pat Robertson just endorsed Rudy Giuliani: The other major effect of Robertson’s support for Giuliani is that it will quiet talk in social conservative circles that nominating Giuliani would lead “values voters” to abandon the Republican Party. The stamp of approval from Robertson should assuage the doubts of many (although certainly not all) of the…

A new Gallup study out suggest that white evangelicals aren’t running away from President Bush or the Republican Party. All Americans have become less likely over the last three years to identify with the Republican Party, and less likely to approve of the job President Bush is doing.

The waterboarding debate continues. Well it should. But I was struck by three paragraphs at the end of an article about the current debate over President Bush’s nominee for attorney general. Even Democrats like Bill Clinton and scourges of torture like Sen. John McCain say it is acceptable to torture someone in a “ticking bomb”…

Stories like these are why the abortion fight won’t ever disappear. They may actually show how the power of technology will do what no abortion protestor ever did and what no law could ever do – change hearts and minds about unborn children. The story also shows the dreadful limits of medical knowledge. When doctors…

In response to an earlier post on who rules creation, Charity asked whether I was advocating an old heresy: You are saying that you are a Cathar or Arian? Those are REAL old heresies that believe that this world was created and ruled by an evil god (or Satan) and that all material things are…
