Are condemned as it were. Ms Malkin and a whole host of others point out the Afghan Christian under death sentence for converting to Christianity from Islam. Has history shown them nothing? Martyrdom is an effective way of not suppressing a religion or strongly held worldview/belief.
Hmm. Interesting?
- Super Bowl Thoughts III February 9, 2010I guess I'm going to turn this into an annual tradition, writing about the Super Bowl. I'm even getting all pretentious about it and marking them with Roman numerals, just as the NFL does. So sue me. First off, it was a terrific game. Congrats to the New Orleans Saints, a true Cinderella story of a team that seemed a perpetual cellar dweller that c […]Tom Neven

The first episode I had numbed the left half of my body from the shoulder to the foot.

- The Development Of The Canon (Part 3) February 9, 2010Dave Armstrong writes:At the Council of Nicaea, according to Protestant apologist Norman Geisler (How we Got the Bible, with co-author William E. Nix, Chicago: Moody Press, 1974, 109), the books of James, 2 Peter, 2 and 3 John, and Jude, were "named as disputed."

- Recasting Avatar February 9, 2010The VC has already brought attention to one property rights interpretation of a tale generally thought to be left-leaning (The Lorax). Today, Ilya Somin points to another example of the genre: David Boaz on Avatar: Conservatives have been very critical of the Golden Globe-winning film “Avatar” for its mystical melange of trite leftist themes.
