Regardless of your political stance, I think Cindy Sheehan, the so-called ‘Peace mom’, made a very interesting comment today. Centuri0n actually hinted at it before I had a chance to post.
Normally I stay out of politics, and I’m certainly not jumping into things here either. I often encounter people who try to force their views [...]

While scanning the blogs and reading about the huge controversy surrounding Francis Beckwith’s ‘conversion’ back to Roman Catholicism, I came across a blog entry where a Roman Catholic was explaining her abandonment of Protestant Calvinism.
