The Striking Thing About The ‘Yes’ Camp Was Its Intolerance
To vote Yes on same-sex marriage to be enlightened; to vote No means that you have no place in modern society.
The implication is that Ireland had hitherto been a bit of a knuckle-dragger, and it was only through saying Yes to gay marriage that it could propel itself into upright, opposable-thumbs modernity. To be against gay marriage is to linger in the doldrums of half-formed humanity; to favour gay marriage is to be decent, civilised,... Continue Reading
World Magazine Exposes Evangelical Environmentalists’ Growing Dependence on Green-Left Funding
Many environmentalists are fond of accusing all critics of their alarms of being in the pocket of industry. World magazine has just turned the tables.
World reports that evangelical “creation care” organizations like the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN), its daughter organization Young Evangelicals for Climate Action (YECA), and the once-conservative now moderate-to-Left-leaning Christian Coalition receive a major share of their financial support from Left-wing, pro-abortion, pro-population control, environmentalist foundations. The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation has reported... Continue Reading
Supreme Court Boosts Workers Who Claim Religious Bias
The Supreme Court ruled on June 1 that companies cannot discriminate against job applicants or employees for religious reasons, even if an accommodation is not requested.
The ruling continued the high court’s practice of providing legal protection for religious beliefs and customs. In recent years, it has allowed employers with religious objections to avoid covering some forms of birth control, upheld the practice of opening local government meetings with a prayer, and allowed a Muslim inmate to keep his beard in...

Doubts About Study of Gay Canvassers Rattles the Field
Study results collapse amid accusations that the researcher misrepresented his study methods and lacked the evidence to back up his findings.
There are now serious questions about whether Mr. LaCour achieved the high response rate he claimed. He has acknowledged that he did not pay participants as he had claimed, according to Dr. Green and Dr. McNutt, the Science editor in chief. In a letter that he sent through his lawyer, Dr. McNutt said, Mr. LaCour... Continue Reading
What Really Happened In Ireland’s “Gay Marriage” Election
Massive US-funded “gay" blitzkrieg as never seen before. Nationwide vote would have surely failed otherwise. This should be a wake-up call around the world.
The LGBT movement’s biggest triumph has been their ability to cut off the money supply to frontline pro-family groups. The millionaires and billionaires ostensibly on our side could easily donate many times the money necessary to fight this effectively. But they have virtually all become emasculated by fear of the “gay mafia”. It’s quite pathetic... Continue Reading
Think Christianity Is Dying? No, Christianity Is Shifting Dramatically
There are three times more Protestant Hispanics in the United States than Episcopalians.
The growth of religious practice in the world is being experienced through patterns of immigration to the United States, patterns that should become a central feature of the debate over immigration reform…. The history of immigration to this country has been a story of unintended consequences which have tested our commitment to religious and cultural... Continue Reading
Pastors from South Sudan on Trial for Their Lives in Khartoum
If the pastors are found guilty, three of the eight charges against them carry a possible death sentence.
As with most religious freedom violations in Sudan, there is an interesting back story. The Sudanese government is attempting to take the Bahri Evangelical Church’s compound away from the Christians and sell it to Muslim investors with the help of corrupt church officials that they forced upon the church. In November and December 2014 parts... Continue Reading
Islamic State’s Atrocities Against Women: It’s Getting Worse
A United Nations team of sex crime investigators has been working in and around Islamic State war zones since 2009.
Young girls kidnapped from their beds. Yazidi women and girls sold into sex trafficking. Rumors of female Muslim teens being used as suicide bombers. It is hard to imagine that Islamic extremists could make things more difficult for women and girls in war-stricken areas, but they are. A United Nations team of sex crime investigators...

Can We Have Religious Liberty In Modern America?
If we're not constrained by religion or morality, do we have hope of lasting civil and religious liberties?
“It is no exaggeration to say we are at a tipping point of one of the pillars of the American founding: Religious liberty. Can religious liberty be sustained in the America of today which understands itself, and the idea of liberty, in a different way than our forefathers did? John Adams, that venerable founder of...

Why Religion Will Dominate The 21st Century
The 20th century was the high point of secularization, while the next will be dominated by religion
“Wherever you look, religion is mutating, thriving, growing. Southeast Asia is as fiercely religious as ever. Same with India. Africa — this century’s next superpower — is the most religious continent on the planet. In America, disaffiliation is changing the face of American religion, but at the same time, higher proportions of people today than... Continue Reading
