This + This + This = ? To be uber-clear, here’s what I’m *not* saying. I’m not saying Paul or his followers are terrorists. Of course not.

On Monday, he is having open heart surgery to repair the defect. In addition to the normal concerns to be expected with this type of procedure, we also have to deal with the fact that he is old enough to be aware of what’s going... Read more

creating and destroying embryoes with genetic material from three parents, just for the curious hell of it. If it was our barbaric enemies doing it, that would be evil and a sin that cries out to heaven for the wrath of God.
