Baptist Exodus

27/04/2006

Public school was a nightmare. Besides a humiliating case of acne, I was bullied by a popular football jock all throughout high school, who sexually harassed me during class (the instructor was clueless) and threatened rape in the boy's bathroom one day, much to the delight of taunting peers. It fed my fantasies of a [...]

PC Spiritual Warfare

I wouldn't be surprised if "Left Behind: Eternal Forces" takes off like the Rapture in sales.

Christian Passover Seders not just a fad.
Rami Shapiro, a self-described "postdenominational" rabbi [...]

Been There, Done That

14/04/2006

Been there, done that.
Infiltration is within Biblical parameters. Christians have been smuggling Bibles into volatile terror states for years, most famously to China.
