Freedoms

Wow - the Korean hostage situation appears to be winding down. Unfortunately, there were some lives lost.
And freedoms.
I have made the point on this blog before but I must make it again.
Free Speech + Religious Freedom = Missionary Work
Where is the hue and cry from the West when two very basic and fundamental human [...]

There is a great article over at Real Clear Politics on the rise of atheist authors and why they have gotten such “great gains” in the publishing world as of late (thanks for the heads-up on this one, Steve).
