Yeah, apparently the information about the drug and its effects and abuses in Colombia are accurate, but there are apocryphal stories about crimes involving the drug in the United States or etc.

You’ve got to love a story about a mind-numbing drug that features an interview with someone named “Demencia Black.”

I would go to LightsideGames.com – they may have a notice there, or at least a contact. If you email me, I’ll give you the contact information directly. Good luck!

Chuck went from being a political criminal, to being a homophobic and misogynistic culture warrior in the service of his beloved Republican party. That is where you get things like the “Manhattan Declaration”. I think he had more worth as criminal before he started spreading his evangelical hypocritical claptrap, but his fawning legions may disagree (the IOKIYAR crowd). Good riddance to him.

I want to inquire for the computer gaming job.

chuck’s life was an inspiration to all
there are people in the world today who are being used by God truly
not all are in it for their own personal or financial gain
another minister of God who I admire as being humble and simple is pastor tb joshua from nigeria
he has received a huge amount of criticism but continues to speak out
he even predicted the passing of chuck colson
if you have not yet heard of this man, i would encourage you to check him out

I just read Frank’s article (cited above), and I think that truth (which only God fully knows) is somewhere closer to the middle. I *do* appreciate what Chuck did in founding Prison Fellowship and I remember listening to his “Break Points” in my “formative” years with Jesus. Like all of us, Chuck is a mixed-bag: he took great personal risk in extending a hand to our Catholic brethren (you become persona non grata with many Evangelicals if you do things like this). However, I took him and one of his most recent articles on homosexuality to task recently, and instead of showing me HOW my (Spirit revised) view on homosexuality was now wrong, he dismissed everything I wrote (and all intellectual and spiritual struggle I had been through, and related) in a one or two sentence reply that succinctly restated the traditional view, as if this was self-evident (it’s not, that’s part of why I’ve changed my view). What saddened me most about his article is that it laid the blame for much of the ills of western civilization on the backs of homosexual people, and he demonized them; only demons should be demonized! Anyway, I lost spiritual and intellectual respect for him at that point. I very much believe that he was/is on the wrong side of God’s heart and mind where women and LGBTQ people are concerned. We shall see at Judgement Seat of Christ…

…Until then, thank you for your hard work for Christ Chuck: I’ve never doubted your love for Him.

Thanks for the response.

Another thing I like: the “Related Stories” section at the bottom of each channel with off-site links. I’m not sure if that’s new to the redesign or if I’m just noticing it, but either way it’s a good feature.

Unfair and inaccurate to call Colson a “standard-bearer” for the political Right. Many of the causes for which he advocated for / against and raised awareness were definitely associated with the Republican Party, but many others, like prison reform in general, prison rape specifically, unjust application of the death penalty, reform among the financial industry, were NOT part of the standard Republican agenda. He was his own man and followed his convictions, and his friends of different political backgrounds (Mark Hatfield – OR, Harold Hughes – IA, etc.) would beg to differ with your misrepresentation.
