Did you know that your Christianity was heavily influenced by a bunch of couples in California in the 1960s doing LSD evangelism? There is a huge chasm between the 1600s and 1900s, and right in the center of that transformation stand the Jesus People ...more |

Rick Davis's review
of
Where the Right Went Wrong: How Neoconservatives Subverted the Reagan Revolution and Hijacked the Bush Presidency:
"A magnificent assault on neoconservativism. He gets a little too hagiographic about Reagan."

“I was driven to Whipsnade one sunny morning. When we set out I did not believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, and when we reached the zoo I did. Yet I had not exactly spent the journey in thought. Nor in great emotion. “Emotional” is perhaps the last word we can apply to some of the most important events. It was more like when a man, after a long sleep, still lying motionless in bed, becomes aware that he is now awake.”

“who can duly adore that Love which will open the high gates to a prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape? The words compelle intrare, compel them to come in, have been so abused by wicked men that we shudder at them; but, properly understood, they plumb the depth of the Divine mercy. The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of man, and His compulsion is our liberation.”

“Before we can progress in providing answers . . . we have to repent of our questions.”
