A View from the Altar. Build an altar to the Lord your God on top of this rock… (Judges 6:26). Baghdad Bob and ObamaCare. Kathleen Sebelius, the Baghdad Bob of ObamaCare, says job losses due to the idiotic tax scheme are a “popular myth.”. Bad timing for her announcement, though, coming right after the administration has been cheesecake grinning and doing happy hands over what a great American blessing it is to escape “job lock” by getting fired. Is this a great country or what? This entry ( permalink.

A View from the Altar / So why are you still a Christian?
http://www.otherbrothersteve.com/2014/04/so-why-are-you-still-a-christian
A View from the Altar. Build an altar to the Lord your God on top of this rock… (Judges 6:26). So why are you still a Christian? Struggling families can’t find a reason to stick it out. People give up and give over to their pet sins. People born, raised, and married in the church suddenly go secular, not out of any sense of offense or hostility, but because they just don’t care any more. So why are you still plodding along with a crowd that seems to be losing so badly? What sense does that make? But if J...

A View from the Altar. Build an altar to the Lord your God on top of this rock… (Judges 6:26). Answers for an atheist. With atheist Louise Antony who confidently affirms that there is no God. Read the linked article if you like, but her arguments against God boil down to a just handful of things. Not at all. Even in a total fog, people can know something is out there without knowing any details about it. Who cares, and why. Anyone care, if orphans starve, tyrants strut, armed gangs pillage and plunder, g...
