The Pope tried to convince Bush not to attack Iraq; as did the head of the Episcopal Church; as did the head of the United Methodist Church (of which Bush claims to be a member); as did numerous other prominant Christian Church leaders. Bush, half of...  [Read More]

Most everyone practicing international law agrees that war with Iraq, without the passage of a new UN Resolution that explicitly permits military action, will be illegal (including the law firm that Tony Blair's own wife works for). If any Iraqi civi...  [Read More]

I'm very hesitant to embrace the idea of a world government... people here have been using the Galactic Republic as an example, and it's a good one. It worked, for a while, a long while--but in the end, it was subverted and became the Empire. Using t...  [Read More]

He [Paul] got his hands on the whole thing. Beyond making stuff up himself, that he had never observed, he likely edited the rest, so it could fit better with his idea of it all. St. Paul died between the years 65 and 67; the Gospel of Mark was writt...  [Read More]

You have to put everything into context. If, for example Jesus 'bin' Nazerath says that "Your will be done." Then you need to look into the context to find out that he's actually telling his followers to practice Culture Imperialism. First...  [Read More]
