Canadian Independence

I heard Mike Meyers say once that it was hard for Canadians to understand the strong feelings we have toward the American Revolution, since they had won their independence through discussions and council meetings.

Gandhi and Jesus Christ

Now Gandhi is a great example of the best that non-violent methods brings about. I think that he is an example of how his resistance caused a type of "forced education" to the British that changed their hearts and minds. That while they believed in the concepts of freedom and liberty, it wasn't a gu...

I think peace and love are noble concepts to aspire to, but it's childish to think the bad people will go away if we just close our eyes and wish it. Rip's point here is very well taken and represents one of the very sizeable differences between conservatives and liberals. That is the way they appr...

Only one dissenting kitten?

This can't be a political allegory. If it were there would be more than one dissenting Star bucket kitten. You see, this is one of the parts of the comic thats almost true, there's only one dissenting kitten, but he sounds like many more. Just like it seems like there are more protesters against th...

Kreeft describes Heaven as the eternal consumation of Love and Truth; Hell he describes as any eternal fixations that prevent the consciousness from beholding the beatific vision of God. This seems to have some confluence in the writings of other prophets, apostles, and saints, but theologians, unf...

Hell

The meadow of the damned is one of my favorite improvs! Speaking of hell, has anyone here read the C.S. Lewis book "The Great Divorce"? Whether you are "religious" or not it is an utterly cool book. People that are in Hell can take a bus ride to Heaven and stay there if they wish. But they become al...

Is there any middle ground?

When it comes to the war, and the politics represented in this cartoon, I keep find myself feeling alone wondering if I am the only one who doesn't have all the answers. There are so many people on both sides that have everything cut and dried. On one side people view Bush as a murderer who is out t...
