By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…l Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, even wondered in an article on his Web site why there was “no one to step between (Rutgers student) Tyler Clementi and that bridge.” The death of Clementi and five other kids, who were either gay or perceived as such, would be a wonderful opportunity for Mohler to show some real compassion, or perhaps even cop to Christianity’s culpability in their deaths; but he makes no such effort as he writes about the suici…

Another announced that he would be writing angry letters to Wall Street and GM and all other corporations who are imperiling the delicate balance of life on this planet. People have quit smoking…

By W. Scott Poole

…defines what really disturbs traditionalists. Dylan Gwinn, writing for the site after the first two episodes ran, couldn’t decide at first if he were angrier that the series brought religion into the mix or that it seemed to criticize the early twentieth-century oil and coal industry.
