Define ‘Baptist,’ give three examples

4th November 2007

Read it. Be your own Protestant church. Any number can play.

People in America forget (if they ever knew) that Christianity isn’t just a religion — it’s a church, an organized community with a hierarchy of authority and defined criteria for membership, just like the Boy Scouts or the Marine Corps.

This is why I always have to laugh at the “evangelicals” who bitch and moan about Mormons not being “real Christians”.

Guys, from the standpoint of the Church that was founded by the Apostles, you aren’t “real Christians” either.

BOURNE TO RUN, AND RUN, AND RUN

3rd November 2007

Mark Steyn on the latest Bourne flick. My reaction to the film, which I really enjoyed, was to pray to God that our CIA was even half as effective as what we see on film. (He said No.)

The Law of the Sea Treaty

3rd November 2007

Read it. Yeah, I know, Inside Baseball, but it’s just another power-grab by the transnational progressivists. Resist it, steadfast in the faith.

The Muscle of Public Employee Unions

3rd November 2007

Read it. Unions invariably destroy the industries that they dominate. We’ve seen it from manufacturing, we’re seeing it in autos, and we can expect to see it in government. This is a plain fact from history. Are so many people actively delusional?

The Next Microsoft: Google is learning too well from the master.

2nd November 2007

Read it. I guess “Don’t be evil” sort of depends on what the meaning of “be” be. Or maybe Cringely is just going through a phase of some kind; who really knows?

Are Holy Communion rules legal?

2nd November 2007

Read it. I can’t imagine getting worked up about this, but apparently other people do. Sort of like forcing yourself into a club that won’t have you; sort of destroys the whole notion of “club”, doesn’t it. Of course, that’s usually the point, a dog-in-the-manger attitude that underlines the eternal truth that misery not only loves company, it will move heaven and earth to get it.

 For that matter, if ACT UP attacks the sacramental elements of the Mass, is that a hate crime of some kind?

Yeah, but the penalty is enforced by somebody with a lot broader jurisdiction than the Feds.

Liberal or Progressive, Same Old Nonsense

1st November 2007

George Will nails it, as he so often does.

In today’s political taxonomy, “progressives” are rebranded liberals dodging the damage they did to their old label.
