Gunned down in church?! Egads. I don’t care what one’s position is on abortion; this is not pro “life” … http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=104766394&sc=fb&cc=fp Grace and Peace, `tim

Why is the US so dogmatically Pro-Israel?

Posted on January 9, 2009 by teejtc

Actually, I’m pretty sure I know. I think it’s probably based on three things 1) a misguided and irresponsible zionism found in many forms of evangelical Christianity (which are influential in the religious right), 2) a built-in, left-over guilt from … Continue reading →

Prop. 8 – Why Conservatives Should Hope it gets Overturned

Posted on November 20, 2008 by teejtc

I’ve been thinking a lot about “Prop. 8” lately….  It’s rather odd, actually… I don’t live in California (where Prop. 8 actually happened); I’m not Gay (whom Prop. 8 seeks specifically to prevent marriage for, by changing the state constitution); … Continue reading →

Posted on October 2, 2008 by teejtc

I had a wonderfully observant and well-written post all ready to publish right here on this blog just a few days ago and the horrors of dial-up internet leveled their curses at me and the post was exorcised somewhere into … Continue reading →

Matthew 25 Network: Check it Out!

Posted on September 27, 2008 by teejtc

I just saw the Matthew 25 Network on Facebook – Looks great so I thought I’d pass it on… Especially interesting is the section called “Put Away Falsehood” which I find particularly helpful since so many of them are things … Continue reading →

The Last Nail in the Coffin

Posted on September 18, 2008 by teejtc

I’ll admit, I dislike Dr. Dobson and his social/religious/political drivel.  Sure, some of his parenting stuff is decent (some of it, however is horrifying [and illegal in some situations] – like  using hot sauce as discipline on small children!)  Some … Continue reading →

Meanness isn’t a virtue.

Posted on September 4, 2008 by teejtc

Ok.  Politics aren’t really my thing.  I honestly don’t believe my vote matters.  (You really don’t have to argue if you disagree, I sincerely doubt you’ll change my mind.)  If, however, I were one of those wealthy people politics actually … Continue reading →

Oh come on… we’re not that stupid….

Posted on September 2, 2008 by teejtc

Ok, Let me be clear, first, I don’t think Palin was a brilliant choice for McCain.  Whatever.  It doesn’t really matter what I think (and I really don’t care, I don’t think McCain’s going to win anyhow).  Secondly, I agree … Continue reading →

NBC – You Ought to be Ashamed

Posted on August 8, 2008 by teejtc

Even as I write this, I may be witnessing China’s triumph over western commercialism.  The opening ceremonies of the Olympics are being broadcast with near-constant interruption by NBC — it’s jarring.  The commercials are not well balanced and they are … Continue reading →
