“Japan Gave Us Pokemon, God Gave Them an Earthquake”

…urported 2012 “end of the world” to explain the seismic activity. I’ve collected a sample of these below for you to see through Google’s real-time twitter feed. From the small sample, it’s safe to say there is a “fatalistic” understanding that natural disasters are about sin or God’s wrath. Even insurance companies think so, placing the phrase “Acts of God” as a catchall for everything unexplainable and destructive. Disasters seem to bring out som…

Are Evangelicals Suffering From Buyer’s Remorse with Obama?

…ht, the battle over President Barack Obama’s judicial appointments takes precedence. When you hear conservatives say that they support “strict constructionist,” and oppose “judicial activists”—judges that “legislate from the bench”—they are describing one of their most important projects; long-term control of the courts.
