It has been said that people never do evil with more enthusiasm than when they do it in the name of God.
From Tony Campolo
I am looking for suggestions on what we can do about extremists within our own society. They cannot be ignored.
Because of the increase in life longevity, America can now assume that at any given time three, and perhaps four, former presidents will still be alive, even when the current president is occupying the White House.
I am relatively sure, from conversations that I had with former president Bill Clinton, that George Bush seldom called upon him for advice.
I propose that the government should get out of the business of marrying people and, instead, only give legal status to civil unions.
If marriage really is a sacred institution, then why is the government controlling it, especially in a nation that affirms separation of church and state?
There are reasons why Religious Right Evangelicals will continue to dominate religious discourse, not only in their own sector of the Christian community, but also in what transpires in mainline denominations.
Lies and distortions can be spread, via the Internet, in an inexpensive way, and the effects are astounding.
Haitians do not need development programs imposed on them by expatriates. Instead, they need help in developing as self-assured persons.
After-school tutoring programs, care for the elderly, shelters for the homeless, disaster relief work, and a variety of other services would all benefit from government funding.
