Tax Cuts for the Super Rich Aren’t Biblical

By Daniel Schultz

Jordan Sekulow’s Washington Post On Faith column arguing that tax cuts for the wealthy are the biblical thing to do gets the Bible all wrong.

Does the Historical Jesus Matter?

By Peter Laarman

…suffer from the effects of malign theological economics: from the lash of free-market rules and precepts that mirror top-down and gravely mistaken theological concepts.

John thought that enacting a ritual purification in the Jordan…

CNN Editor Leaves Over Tweet on Hezbollah ‘Giant’

By Hussein Rashid

…entually, the decision was made that their reporters in America are not as free as American clients in Iraq, where the Prime Minister expressed his admiration, or Jordan, where the King expressed his. Interestingly, even the Israeli press lauded Fadlallah.

…to community service, ministry, and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity, and spiritual enlightenment. We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty and we use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency, and guilt that chain the human spirit.

Some Thoughts on Richard Dawkins’ Terrible Tweet

By Haroon Moghul

There are, of course, sadly plenty of conflicts in which Muslims are involved, as aggressors, and worse still, plenty of Muslims who justify their sadism, barbarism and immorality in the name of Islam. The best response to Richard Dawkins is not a history lesson, nor an appeal to specific verses, but a calm perusal of the newspaper. How can the Arab world, for example…

Early in the evening, as election results were trickling in, Jordan Sekulow, the son of Jay Sekulow, head of the Robertson-founded American Center for Law and Justice, and himself a Regent graduate, tweeted, “A warning for liberals tonight – don’t mess with Regent Law.” McDonnell sure didn’t campaign on his Regent cred; he left that to his opponent, Creigh Deeds, who probably spent too much time pounding McDonnell’s controversial gra…
