In Iowa, there is a push to vote out of office Iowa Supreme Court Justice David Wiggins for his part of the unanimous 2009 Varnum vs. Brien decision striking down a state law banning same-sex marriage. Three other justices were in 2010 voted off the Iowa Supreme Court for their support.

I recently read a comparison between religion and Christianity which concluded with this: Religion is good versus bad, but Christianity is repentant versus unrepentant.
That is a profound statement.
The essence is that we are all bad, yet some of us our better off.
Not "better." We're not to be...

I've heard of Christians, conservatives and Republicans all called "closet homosexuals" or "closet racists" or "closet bigots" -- fill in the word -- misogynists, extremists, radicals.

Practicing homosexuality is a sin, but the real issue lost in the arguing is this: Christians are trying to make sure the world stays sensitive to ALL sin, so that non-Christians are not numb to it and thus...

I'm getting frustrated with the church's public relations. I fear we're losing the war of public perception. Sin is becoming more accepted, like abortion, gay marriage and out-of-wedlock sex.
Churches, on the other hand, are being labeled as the bad guy, the oppressor, the evil judge.
