…nother evangelical commentator believes that this act was simply evil. According to a guest on an American Family Association radio program, if Holmes had accepted Christ into his life he would have never committed such a crime.

Aurora, Batman, Crazy Congressmen

By Hussein Rashid

…ommunity of Prague. I wonder which Judeo-Christian heritage Gohmert is referring to when he says that one is under attack. There is the heritage of anti-Semitism that Batman is a symbol of, echoing the need for Jews to have protection against Christians, or the neologism that subsumes Judaism as a watered-down version of Christianity for political purposes and threatens to bring back medieval anti-Semitism.

By W. Scott Poole

…to Christopher Walken’s Gabriel in the surprisingly good 1995 religious horror treat The Prophecy. Walken plays an angry archangel who, like Lucifer before him (campily portrayed by Viggo Mortensen), has launched a new war in heaven. Walken’s Gabriel would never make it onto grandma’s Christmas card.

By Ed Simon

Historically amongst the revelers at Venice’s celebrated Mardi Gras Carnival, are those costumed in the distinctive beaked mask of the Medico della Peste—the plague doctor.

The eerie mask is historically accurate, long before…

…meaning that the old structures, doctrines and offices of the Christian churches must be cleared away to make room for the arguably restored, true Christian church.
