By Sean S. O'Neil

…ears old, when I first started acting, I was sitting in my mother’s beauty shop. And a woman just kept looking at me… and she said, “Someone give me a piece of paper.” And she wrote down a prophecy. She said that I would speak to millions of people, and I would travel the world and preach to millions of people. And I didn’t know what she was talking about.

It is reasonable to predict that the former, with its greater resources, can easily drive the latter to the poorhouse—and to see how in the process armed barristas may resort to internecine violence. Indeed, in Florida, we might expect coffee shops to attempt war with each other, given the vagaries of the Stand Your Grounds law. It would be equally un-American to limi…

…Lori of Baltimore, would be brought to the installation mass of the new Bishop of Rome, whomever he may be. Requests for prayers on behalf of particular people or purposes are of course nothing new.

By Kaya Oakes

…hannon. Deadshow, Deadhead. Dominquez Hills, 1990. Photo by ChasM3/https://www.flickr.com/photos/chasm3/ “Sugar Magnolia,” however, still presents a challenge. Written by Robert Hunter and the band’s rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, its lyrics would raise the hackles of even the mildest of feminists. The subject of the song not only takes the wheel for a stoned driver but “pays my ticket when I speed.” “She don’t come and I won’t follow,” even while she…

Trick or….Bible: Christians Coping with Halloween

By Maxwell Grant

…to Halloween. The movement began in 2002, and the organization’s website, www.jesusween.com, doesn’t appear to have been updated since 2012. But it’s still worth talking about, and not because it fits with the famililar “Ain’t those Evanglicals kooky?” meme. More recently, actor Kirk Cameron urged Evangelical families to approach Halloween, not quite as “Jesus Ween,” but along similar lines: You should have the biggest party on your block, and yo…
