By Donna Schaper

That would be an extravagant, realistic creativity. Religious people are also pragmatic people. Being pro-Spirit does not mean you are anti-reality.

By Michael Schulson

…ing that “all humankind benefits from reaching into the stars.” Apparently Mexico will not be called upon to construct a stellar wall, “because space is not the sole property of America.” 2. America has enough money to go to space, but not enough to save Miami. “There is still much that needs to be investigated in the field of ‘climate change,’” the Trump campaign wrote.

By Andrea R. Jain

…from one of the show’s viewers: My family recently moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico because of my husband’s work. There are a lot of people interested in New Age spirituality in our new neighborhood—dream catchers, yoga, veganism, that sort of thing. My concern is that my teenage daughter is now interested in taking yoga classes with one of her friends. She says it is healthy and will help her flexibility. I worry because it is not based in Christia…

By Ed Simon

…y and so we have Halloween.

Will Evangelicals Vote for a Non-Christian Trump? If They Don’t, the Vatican May Fall to ISIS

By Hollis Phelps

…Referring to Trump’s “plan” to build a wall between the United States and Mexico, the Pope suggested that Trump is “not Christian.” In Francis’ words, “a person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the gospel.” Trump was quick to strike back, calling the Pope’s remarks “disgraceful,” and adding: If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is…
