And would you please remember that I have not defended "Christian nationalism" in the sense you are using the word. I have said and still say that they whole debate is bogus and serves only to make people look away from the actual problems. Do you really think that Trump will start a war (...

I didn't know about Amanda Tyler. But I see now - like I had feared and expected - that "Christians against Christan nationalism" is a big movement. Paid by whom? See, this kind of rhetoric right here. Your question is not an honest, intellectual question. There is no indication anyone is...

I didn't know about Amanda Tyler. But I see now - like I had feared and expected - that "Christians against Christan nationalism" is a big movement. Paid by whom? Amanda Tyler before the committee: What simile would be appropriate? I propose: A shepherd delivering his sheep to the wolves: ...

One cannot be an Anabaptist without being a member of a local church. In a way one might say that it...

I don't understand what is meant with "justice" here! The system of trials and the activity of judges and lawyers? In that case I suppose that we can speak about "perverted" justice. For instance, Mark Steyn wrote in 8/21 that "the dirty stinking rotten corrupt U.S. justice ...
