Violence: Witches & Witchcraft
Witches have long been feared and hated in Christian circles. Even today, pagans and Wiccans remain a target of Christian persecution - especially in America. It seems that they long ago took on an identity which reached far beyond their own existence and became a symbol for Christians - but a symbol of what? Maybe an examination of the events will give us some clues.

C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien
Many fans are aware of that C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were close friends. Tolkien helped convert Lewis to Christianity, whereas Lewis encouraged Tolkien to expand his fictional writing; both taught at Oxford, both were interested in literature, and both wrote fictional books which propagated basic Christian themes and principles. At the same time, though, they also had serious disagreements - in particular, over the quality of Lewis' Narnia books.

The United States of America is Blessed by God; Americans are Chosen by God
The idea that God has blessed America is integral to Christian Nationalists' religious and political ideology. This concept of a blessing isn't about God generally blessing humanity, but is instead the assertion of a special relationship between God and America - a relationship not unlike the one described in the Old Testament between God and Israel. Without this special relationship, much of Christian Nationalists' religious and political agenda would be difficult if not impossible to justify.

Gospel of Mark, Chapter 6
In the sixth chapter of Marks gospel, Jesus continues his ministry, his healing, and his preaching. Now, though, Jesus also sends out his apostles to try to do the same things on their own. Jesus also visits his family where he receives something less than a warm welcome.

Atheism vs. Freethought
A standard dictionary defines a freethinker as 'one that forms opinions on the basis of reason independently of authority; especially one who doubts or denies religious dogma.' What this means is that to be a freethinker, a person has to be willing to consider any idea and any possibility. The standard for deciding the truth-value of claims is not tradition, dogma, or authorities - instead, it must be reason and logic.

Jesus Sends Out His Apostles
Thus far, Jesus' twelve apostles have been following him from place to place, witnessing the miracles he performed and learning about his teachings. This included not only the teachings he has made openly to the crowds, but also secret teachings delivered only to them as we saw in chapter 4 of Mark. Now, however, Jesus is telling them that they will have to go out to teach on their own and work their own miracles.

Saint James (the Lesser) the Apostle
Christian tradition says that James the Lesser was martyred in Egypt; specifically, that he was crucified for having violated the Torah despite having been one of the apostles who tended to stick most closely to traditional Jewish laws. This is an implausible story because Jews sentencing someone to death would have used stoning; crucifixion was a Roman method of execution and they wouldn't have cared about some random religious person violating a Jewish religious law.

Illustration the Battle for Antioch: Battles of the Crusades Gallery
Seljuk Turks had conquered Antioch, a strategically important city, in 1087 and the The First Crusade besieged it in 1097. Located in the mountainous region of Orontes, Antioch had never been captured by any means other than treachery and was so large that the Crusader army was unable to completely surround it. Bohemond conspired with Firouz, an Aremenian convert to Islam and captain of the guard, to allow the Crusaders access to the Tower of the Two Sisters and thus through treachery Crusaders take Antioch.

Bible Dictionary: Family
Everyone is or has been part of a family, but defining the boundaries of a family is difficult to do. In modern America, 'family' is used almost exclusively in reference to the nuclear family of a father, mother, and their biological children. In the Bible, however, 'family' has much broader overtones. In the Bible, the family might include as little as the household, but it might further refer to a clan or tribe - even an entire nation.

Because discrimination is unjust and unethical, so is affirmative action.

Militarize the Homeland, the People, and the Children!
Many are disturbed about far-right movements in America displaying too many characteristics of fascism. The central organizing ideology behind these groups is Christian Nationalism, the belief that America should have its cultural, legal, and political institutions organized along narrowly defined conservative, evangelical Christian lines. Christian Nationalist movements exhibit many of the basic characteristics of fascist movements except for one: organized, militant groups.

Gays Undermining Marriage
A common argument against legalizing same-sex marriages is that doing so would undermine the institution of marriage. For some reason, a marriage between members of the same sex is a self-contradiction and, if their unions are legalized, then marriage itself across the country will be harmed. But upon what basis is such an argument made?

Saint Simon the Zealot, the Apostle
Sometimes Simon the Zealot is referred to as Simon the Canaanite because the Hebrew root for zealot is qana and church father Jerome thought this mean Cana or Canaan. Thus he described Simon as coming from the town of Cana (the site of Jesus first miracle, when he transformed water into wine) or just more generally from the Canaan region.
