Today, my brain-eating minions, you must learn the noble art of cat yodeling: That is all. Read more

A reader asks: How do you generally deal with these sorts of arguments? “I could claim that an invisible pink untouchable transcendant uncreated mouse created the universe and I’d have exactly the same amount of evidence to prove it as for the Christian God.” Ignore them as deeply shallow, seriously unserious pieces of dumb rhetoric intended to medicate some inner need to reject God and refuse engagement with rationality. As I say, Evangelical Atheism is primarily about a certain sort... Read more

A reader demands to know: Is it really true that the GOP is “bleeding” to death? A brand new poll out (Gallup I believe) has party self identification tied between Reps and Dems. We will see a bounce back in the 2010 Congressional elections and then this bleeding to death trope will be seen in a different light.

Since readers asked that I keep them posted. Here’s what I’m hearing these days: Fr. Phil Bloom writes: Yesterday I dove into Volume III. Quite a change of pace. Reminds me of Lewis’ statement about how one cannot always be defending the faith, but must at some point be nourished by it. I meant the “like reading C.S. Lewis” comment sincerely.
