Glenn Beck: Did the Holy Spirit speak?

If the Holy Spirit spoke through Glenn Beck, or through any part of his "Restoring Honor" event, I didn't hear the words. Or the tune. Maybe others did.

Learning About Religious Tolerance Through the Recent Mosque Controversy

In recent weeks, there has been a controversy in New York City involving a Muslim center that is a few blocks from where the Twin Towers once were. This controversy highlights the misperceptions that many people in this country have about Muslims.

Waiting for the Holy Spirit with Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck is certainly aiming high. Tonight, at the Kennedy Center in Washington, he will "help heal your soul" at his "America's Divine Destiny" event. Then tomorrow, at his "Restoring Honor" event at the Lincoln Memorial, he expects the Spirit to speak.

Liberal Christianity

I firmly believe that religion or rigorous practice can't be applied with pressure and intimidation because that only brings force and violence, not wisdom so it must be fulfilled with reason, debate and intuition.

Revisiting the Ground Zero Mosque

I'm not sure what combination of happy accident intertube glitches brought me back to Angelo's post today (Learning About Muslims), but what synchronicity!

I have been puzzling through the right-wing non-issue du jour this week (and last week), actually finding some sympathy in my heart for survivors who blamed the entire Muslim world for the World Trade Center attacks, who didn't (absolutely couldn't) live with a mosque at Ground Zero, while at the same time I loved the balance of the plan.

Giving Thanks on the 4th of July

The United States isn't a perfect country, but it's a good country, a country I love. What I most revere about the United States are the reformers and radicals who have fought to get this country to live up to its highest values. These reformers and radicals helped give this country a new understanding of what it means to be a country of freedom and equality.

God Bless America

We live in a world where rather meaty terms are dropped about willy-nilly. The cynics and the skeptics have it easy, perhaps too easy.
