Words to live by"As a Christian, there is no other part of the New Right ideology that concerns me more than its self-serving misuse of religious faith. What is at stake here is the very integrity of biblical truth. The New Right, in many cases, is doing nothing less than placing a heretical claim on Christian faith that distorts, confuses, and destroys the opportunity for a biblical understanding of Jesus Christ and of his gospel for millions of people."

SCOTUS needs other issues than abortion
Today I read this article, first part of which I show below, and I thought of this post. We all are besieged with DoThis DoThat, from contradictory sources often. It's enough to make a person rebellious. Where it is written that government, advertising, and popular media have a right to tell you/me how to live and think? When newspapers started to write command sentences and refer to "you" I realized this was more than a cozy form of communication. It was recognition of groupthink.
