Atheists invoke Brown v. Board of Education in their suit to end inaugural prayers
By
Susan Johnson
So, prayers at the inauguration are as bad as segregation? Seriously? In a motion filed Tuesday afternoon, lawyers representing the atheists submitted the 1952 Supreme Court brief filed by the United States in Brown v. Board of Education. They point to language in that brief as evidence that the scheduled prayers including references to God…
Seminaries feeling the squeeze from the bad economy
By
Susan Johnson
One of them even went under because of the downturn in the economy and others are on the brink: One evangelical seminary fell victim to the American economy’s recession in 2008, while others teetered on the brink of collapse or faced serious cutbacks. Salt Lake Theological Seminary, the only Christian graduate school of theology in…
The NY Times’ Driscoll article revisited
By
Susan Johnson
Ken Shepherd very helpfully provides some information about the author of the article on Driscoll: In her January 6 article, “Who Would Jesus Smack Down,” Worthen — who studied American religious history at Yale University— portrayed the founding pastor of Seattle’s Mars Hill Church as an edgy hipster “cussing” pastor who chagrins religious conservatives and…
Food Police: Put down that leftover!
By
Susan Johnson
Evidently, the British government is so bothered by wasted food that they are sending out the “food police” to train their citizens in what to do with the leftovers. I don’t envy them their jobs, I can think of a few things I would say to a government official who tried to tell me how…
Palm Pre info is posted to the Palm website
By
Susan Johnson
Oooh! Isn’t it pretty? I want one! No word yet on the price but you can submit your email address and they’ll let you know when it’s available for purchase. I’ll have to wait a year to get mine, hopefully they’ll have a Verizon version by then. It’s a good thing they aren’t making Apple’s…
So, I was looking at the runway pictures for the Golden Globe Awards…
By
Susan Johnson
And I thought this was the best dress of the night. Beautiful color and an interesting design. Salma Hayek also had a very nice dress, though, it would have been better if it had been black, red or blue. And this was the worst! And yes, occasionally I spend my time on the Internet reading…
NPR Report: “Unemployed Without Benefits”
By
Susan Johnson
What is the purpose of this report? Are we supposed to feel sorry for the couple? Be moved to extend unemployment benefits to those who are self-employed? To those who are retired? The self-employed know they won’t get unemployment benefits, why not put money aside for that eventuality? Since the couple are in their 60’s…
Mike Huckabee grills Ann Coulter
By
Susan Johnson
Over all the mean things she said about him during the primaries (she called him stupid and pro-sodomy). Poor Ann Coulter doesn’t even get a chance to promote her book! Worst interview ever, he winds up talking about himself for most of the interview and about ancient history. Who beside Huckabee cares about what she…
Mark Driscoll, Calvinist rebel?
By
Susan Johnson
That seems to be opinion of the NY Times reporter: God called Driscoll to preach to men — particularly young men — to save them from an American Protestantism that has emasculated Christ and driven men from church pews with praise music that sounds more like boy-band ballads crooned to Jesus than “Onward Christian Soldiers.”…
Police locate kidnapped girl using GPS in her cell phone
By
Susan Johnson
This sounds like something you’d see on CSI: A nine-year-old girl, allegedly kidnapped by her grandmother, has been found using a mobile phone signal and Google Street View. A police officer and a firefighter in Athol, Massachusetts, joined forces after authorities were alerted that Natalie Maltais had been taken. Officers used GPS in the girl’s…
