The Daily Mustard

I've heard this one several times lately among TV talking heads:

Conservatives spend their time hunting traitors;
Liberals spend their time hunting heretics.

Which goes along with Charles Krauthammer's saying:

Conservatives think Liberals are wrong;
Liberals think Conservatives are immoral.

Then there's this oldie-but-goodie:

A conservative is someone who wants to use his money to control your morals; a liberal is someone who wants to use his morals to control your money.

Does anyone else think that their Live Journal goes into Read-Only Mode A LOT?

I was surfing some religious websites recently -- specifically, the sites of some Christian colleges and seminaries -- and there I met up with the confessional statements of a number of them. Many of the evangelical Protestant folks place a very high value on the Bible, affirming it to be inerrant ("in the original autographs" -- which we don't have).

I've always felt uncomfortable with this. ( Collapse )

When I finally get around to writing my book on Christian Education in the local church, the chapter on Scouting ministries will bear the title, God is an eight-color patch.
