Update (1/27): Captain Ed fact-checks the New York Times. He’s fact-checking the Washington Post, too.
Go see the 54th Christian Carnival. A few stand-outs:
Fringe: “Christians today suffer from severe spiritual drought and famine, lacking in Christian principles and values, embracing worldly pursuits and pleasures, and most importantly and regrettably, the absence of Jesus-centered lives. In many respects, I’m just as guilty of contributing to these horrifying statistics as the next Christian.”
Pseudo-Polymath: “There is a common meme on the left that the reason the right does not support their government sponsored charities is that the right is more concerned with amassing personal wealth and does not ‘care’ for the poor.”
Personal Trainer: “[W]hen the drums of war sound, and peace flees over the horizon, we have a duty to respond to war in a way that is honoring to God at every level, both public and private.”
Also see Onward, Christian Soldiers.
In the Outer: “While I do not doubt that Islam has within its religion, and its scriptures, references that are suspiciously alarming to the West, the same can be said for fundamentalist Christian religion and Christian texts, read out of its context, to those outside the faith.”
