…d-evening yesterday, as the obvious polls poured in (Newt Gingrich winning Georgia, Mitt Romney winning Vermont), a strange delirium seized professional election returns watchers. First there was that surreal CNN webcam video of Sarah Palin, offering up non-prognostications about her party’s upcoming convention and her own visions for 2016; then there was Nate Silver seeing no clear path to a Romney victory in Ohio. Could Rick Santorum really win…

…York!” Its crime: the release of the illegal, “this monster,” who went to Georgia and killed “our girl,” Laken Riley. Therefore, New York’s courts have no standing: They dispatch brown-skinned killers (he was released after an arrest for operating a car dangerously with a child) to murder pretty White girls and yet convict a president for, what, scoring with a pretty White girl? Here is the topsy-turvy world of American liberalism: a bad man rewa…

…nd demanded immediate repayment of a $12 million loan on the property.” In Georgia, the Duluth-based Global Destiny Ministries received a visit from the sheriff who “ordered Bishop Thomas Weeks II to leave the property.” Weeks—who recently divorced “popular preacher Juanita Bynum in June”—was $511,000 in arrears in “back rent” to the building’s owners.

The result was reported in breaking news Monday night: legally, the Southern Baptist Convention will keep the name it has had since its inception, but informally, churches will be allowed, and even encouraged, to use a non-legal name, Great Commission Baptists, that avoids the negative connotations of the legal name. While recognizi…

Government Prayer Isn’t Inclusive—Let’s Not Pretend Otherwise

By Andrew L. Seidel

…divided along religious lines in the wake of the “Jesus”-laden prayer. The Georgia House suffered through a sermon and then a prayer, both of which condemned all non-Christians—all non-Baptists, really—to an eternity of torture and torment. Surely not the best way to work across the aisle or to foster compromise.
