“In other words, it is the content of the prayers, rather than their theistic or nontheistic nature, that matters,” Conner said. This judge evidently does not understand that the “nature” of something does determine its content. Hence, the ruling, which not surprisingly comes from a George W. Bush appointee.

Library story time is not just “make believe,” it’s “make believe that something is true which in reality is an abomination to God.” Could be coming to a library near you. Romans 1:18-32 playing itself out in real life.

It is amusing to watch people debate whether classical liberalism is ultimately incompatible with Christianity or not. Because, whether you lament it or not, Christians of all stripes will continue to run from it at an increasing pace.

Perversity becomes a feature, not a bug, when you denigrate marriage and require vows against God’s order of creation for those in the ministry.

The only civilized response to those convicted of such a vile crime is execution. Anything less is barbaric.
