In the Name of God: The Extremely and Eternally Loving and Caring Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is in hot water today for failing to correct a questioner about Muslims and President Obama’s faith: During a question and answer session in Rochester, New Hampshire, a gentleman stood and said, “We have a problem in this…

In the Name of God: The Extremely and Everlastingly Loving and Caring Oh my God, people. A teenager in Texas was arrested after he showed a homemade clock to his teacher. The teen, Ahmed Mohamed, told reporters: I built a clock to impress my teacher but when I showed it to her, she thought it…

In the Name of God: The Extremely, Eternally, and Everlastingly Loving and Caring It was so refreshing to read Harry J.
