HuffPo Columnist Tries to Link Darwin to Hitler

By Lauri Lebo

…o it for free. In exchange for all this unpaid content, columnists are largely free to write about whatever it is they like. Consequently, Huffington Post’s living pages have long been filled with various anti-science sentiments and new age woo, from vitamin cures to the “science of distant healing.” Most egregiously, it has provided a place for Jenny McCarthy and others to peddle ongoing claims about there being a link between autism and vaccine…

Tony Perkins: Atheists Can’t Be Chaplains

By Chris Stedman

…at “by definition, a chaplain’s duties are to offer prayer, spiritual counseling, and religious instruction.” The confusion surrounding chaplains for the nonreligious isn’t new—or especially surprising. The popular connotations of the word chaplain are clearly religious; more often than not, they are explicitly Christian.

…were either being incarcerated in their home country or fleeing to find shelter somewhere else. Either way, he said, the movement would persevere. “Look at Christianity,” he said, referring to my own religious tradition. “It was once persecuted, and then it survived and thrived.” Whether this will happen to the Hizmet movement of Gulen supporters or whether Erdogan will successfully crush it is an open question.

By Lauri Lebo

…people, including the Giles County students, misunderstand the difference between free expression of one’s religious views and the endorsement by one’s government. Unfortunately, too many people misunderstand them as the same thing. In a yet another classic example from Giles County, members of the ministry All 10 Commandments were handing out yard signs of the Ten Commandments last week in opposition to the removal from the schools.

Hicksters, Stickers, and Affection: Why I Left D.C. for the Family Farm

By Timothy King

…Thoreau penned these words: “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” Thoreau spent two years, two months and two days on Walden Pond.

By Eric C. Miller

…matters of sexuality can co-exist alongside gay persons who desire to live free lives as well. History reveals that when one group gains cultural favor over another, it typically overreaches, going to extremes to mercilessly subjugate their enemies to whatever table scraps are left over. That’s the phase we’re in now. In these circumstances, détente is discarded. Instead, embattlement and entrenchment passes on to the next generation. It is the ac…

…l peace) to openly challenge each other in a great ongoing contest for the freely granted allegiance of the soul. However, in recent years, Americans have been losing their habit of engaging in respectful contestation. We’ve lost track of the difference between hateful attacks and disciplined, sincere criticism.
