Nevertheless, I will not be [Read More...]

How Protestant Fundamentalism Destroys Christianity

That means I grit my teeth and maybe read one column a day… The impression I receive is that the vast American media public are totally conditioned by fundamentalist Protestantism. [Read More...]

Gay Marriage Today No Marriage Tomorrow

  This article from the Daily Telegraph got me thinking. It’s all about a guy from London who lives in LA with two women.
