With all of the wild twists of the last few weeks, what are you thoughts about the election now? Who are you for? What do you think will happen?

Christians around the world have been offended by the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics, which included drag queens and voguing gays in a tableau that appeared to be a mockery of Leonardo Da Vinci's depiction of Christ at His Last Supper. Defenders claim it's just a scene from Greek mythology. But the very title of the performance refers to Holy Communion!
This blog encourages discussion. Comments in Patheos blogs are not nearly so obscene as in other sites because of the Disqus commenting software, with its extensive list of banned words, some of which are quite innocent.

Graedon H. Zorzi gives a very cogent explanation of "Postliberalism," the kind of conservatism J. D. Vance advocates, one centered on community, family, virtue, and the common good. That might be worthwhile as an ethos and a set of policies. But as a longterm system of government, it falls short.
