I do not like the president. I’m sure he acts in what he views as the best interests of the most people, but he’s wrong, and he’s dismantling the very basis of our country: the first amendment, by forcing Catholics to violate their consciences in order to be in business. But that’s all old news. […]
The Future of Internet Evangelism
December 10, 2012 by
It is commonly cited as fact that arguing on the internet is “dumb,” and “pointless,” and an overall “waste of time.” As far as generalizations go, this probably smacks of truth to many who have attempted to engage in the activity known as “internet evangelism,” whether the cause they were evangelizing was one of religion […]

Through a friend of a friend, I managed to get on the Tyndale list for preview/review copies of books. the first one that they gave me was Rick Santorum’s American patriots.

Young Earth Creationism vs. Old Earth Evolution: The Catholic Position.
