I adore Bono, totally and completely. I love his edgy, bold and complete faith. I also hope his answers witnessed to this particular interviewer, how could they not, when put so eloquently? As demonstrated in his encyclical God Is Love, and more recently at the Fifth World Meeting of Families in Valencia, Spain, Pope Benedict XVI, like [...]

The latest from one of my favorite Patheos blogs, The Bad Catholic. Human beings suck. We’ve murdered, raped, belittled, ignored and otherwise objectified each other since we first learned to totter on two feet, and will continue to do so until the whole edifice of earth collapses beneath us. If you nodded, agreed, or agreeably [...]

In September, I was thrilled to share my first guest blogger post by my dear friend Julie Imirie. I’m very pleased that she has submitted another post.

READ MORE »Interesting article. S.E. Cupp indicated earlier today that she was ‘honored’! Love S.E.!

I had a very good libertarian friend post this article on my Facebook wall: Does God want Ron Paul to be President?

(NY Times) WHO is happier about life — liberals or conservatives? The answer might seem straightforward. After all, there is an entire academic literature in the social sciences dedicated to showing conservatives as naturally authoritarian, dogmatic, intolerant of ambiguity, fearful of threat and loss, low in self-esteem and uncomfortable with complex modes of thinking.

I.Love.This.Woman. Such amazing perspective. This is the world I aspire to live in. The woman is educated, intelligent, informed, and an atheist.
