No Atheists in Foxholes?
This saying has been around for quite a long time and gets used with some
regularity, but it became even more popular after the terrorist attacks in the
United States on September 11, 2001. But is there any truth to it?
Interview: Awakening of a Jehovah's Witness
Author Diane Wilson discusses her recent book and her experiences as a Jehovah's
Witness. Which doctrines does she think are the worst? How does the Watchtower
Society hide its failed prophecies? These questions and more are addressed...
Book Review: Shinto
Because the Shinto religion has been integral to Japanese culture for millennia,
understanding Japan requires some understanding of Shinto. In addition, most
people may not realize that the development of Buddhism has been heavily
influenced by Shinto: they are the two major religions in Japan, and many
Japanese see no conflict in claiming adherence to both. Thus, each has affected
the other in a myriad of ways.
Book Review: Sexual Shame
Questions about sexuality are fundamental to the health and welfare of Christian
communities - the problem is, few Christians seem to realize this. Sexuality has
become the proverbial elephant sitting in the room: no one can help but see it,
but no one wants to acknowledge it, either. This, however, is part of what leads
to scandals, abuse and worse. How should Christians deal with this?
History: Papal Antimodernism
On September 6, 1907, Pope Pius X issued his encyclical Pascendi dominici gregis,
condemning the "modernist" movement developing within Christianity.
History: Charles S. Peirce
On September 10, 1839, Charles S. Peirce, founder of the American school of
philosophy known as Pragmatism, was born.
