Second Coming Christ Controversy, Part II: Slings and Arrows

A message to WORLD readers on the David Barton controversy
“Let her and Falsehood grapple; who ever knew Truth put to the worse, in a free and open encounter?” - Milton

Into exile: What happens to a professor who does everything right but has wrong ideas?
Woodberry quotes an 1888 missionary conference's declaration that the opium trade is "a standing reproach to Christianity"
The University of Texas denied Woodberry tenure. He then applied to 108 other schools. No U.S. institution offered him tenure. One Christian college interviewed him and made a tentative offer, but it did not make a formal offer. No other school invited him for an in-person interview or made him a job offer.
Paul Ryan’s Catholicism and the Poor
Acts coerced by government, no matter how beneficial or well-intentioned, cannot be moral.
The bishops dance with the devil when they invite government to use its coercive power on their behalf, and there's no clearer example than the Affordable Care Act. They happily joined their moral authority to the government's legal authority by supporting mandatory health insurance. They should not have been surprised when the government used its reinforced power to require Catholic institutions to pay for insurance plans that cover abortions and birth control.
The Family Research Center shooting and the vocation of a hero
“Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means, at the point of highest reality"
When I worked at FRC (2006-2008) I would have happily swapped jobs with almost any other employee—except for Leo. Having manned many a guard post while in the military, I couldn’t imagine having to do such a boring, repetitive, often-thankless job.

America’s First Atheist
Joel Barlow is significant as possibly America's first atheist.
James Turner, in his book Without God, Without Creed: The Origins of Unbelief in America, suggests Barlow is a plausible candidate for America’s first atheist. There may, of course, have been an underground of unbelief in America in the late 1700s, but the evidence we have of the era’s skepticism indicates it was directed towards... Continue Reading

How Rick Warren Harnessed the Power of Social Habits
And why—after plunging into depression—Saddleback's pastor now pushes spiritual habits through 'The Power of Habit' concept.
For years, he had suffered from anxiety attacks and occasional bouts of melancholy that friends told him sounded like mild depressions. But it had never hit this bad before. The next day, Warren and his family began driving to Arizona, where his wife's family had a house. Slowly, he recuperated.
