    'Apostolic Succession' of Roman See = House of Straw

    The Roman Catholic Church clings to the fable that the Roman Church was founded by Saints Peter and Paul. However, Paul says otherwise: Romans 15:20-24 20Thus I make it my ambition to proclaim the good news, not where Christ has already been named, so that I do not build on someone else’s...

    Rogue Scientist Has Own Scientific Method

    http://www.theonion.com/content/node/49180 "...[W]asn't Einstein ridiculed when he unveiled his theory of relativity, or Copernicus when he posited that the Earth revolved around the sun? True, I have since proved them both wrong, but at least they took risks." ROFL!

    Jesus was not a liberal

    (Copied from my blog) Philosopher Steve Burton does a fine job of rebutting the oft repeated claim that Jesus was a liberal in this post to Right Reason. As I commented over there, nowhere does Jesus advocate suckling from the teat of the government.
