My son Peter is 5. He loves to watch Bibleman. That is a video series about a superhero who defeats evil by quoting bible verses. Bibleman talks about the importance of following Jesus. Now Peter asks me, &#8220;How does he know where Jesus is going?&#8221; It is a fair question. It is easy to imagine [...]]]></description>

There is an article in Time about churches trying to spice up the sex lives of their members. This isn&#8217;t the first time. I heard about a book called Red Hot Monogamy being promoted on Dobson. Trying to convince people that a Christian sex life can be great. So what is wrong with that? The [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t write about Canadian politics much. I do follow it but I know most of the folks at St Blogs are not Canadian so they would not care much.

One great thing about atheists is their love of truth. It is so frustrating to deal with people who are sort of christian but not really.

I like James Dobson. I have since high school. We still listen to focus on the family as my kids are nearly in high school. I have to say I was disappointed at his response to Obama&#8217;s speech on religion. It is not that I disagree with him. I think he is basically right. I [...]]]></description>

Interesting quote from what is known as the most liberal denomination in Canada:

Lately, I have been following US presidential politics quite closely. I don&#8217;t blog about it much because everyone at St Blogs is pretty much in awe of George Bush and I am not.

I wonder what the dissent of Roberts on the Gitmo decision means for Roe v Wade. Here is one place he had the chance to think with the church and he didn&#8217;t do it.

The Catholic Theological Society of America is meeting again. They seem to be trying to figure out what John Paul&#8217;s Theology of the Body means. It is interesting because at the outset they assume it cannot means what it actually says. That is that as men and women our bodies are created in harmony with [...]]]></description>

One of the most powerful ways tradition works is that it causes us to be suspicious of certain arguments. I had that as a protestant reading Catholic arguments.

I listen to a fair bit of Christian radio. One think I notice as a Catholic that I never paid much attention to as a protestant is how they constantly use phrases like &#8220;scripture tells us&#8221;, &#8220;we know from the bible&#8221;, &#8220;the bible clearly teaches&#8221;, etc. Often the show itself is called something like Let [...]]]></description>

The problem is people believe things and refuse to question it. If Hitler was willing to consider he was wrong, he might not have gone on the killing spree.
