There's no way to reconcile Islam with Christianity. This difference of opinion admits of compromise as much as a coin toss does.

The fact that my continuous and public rejection of Christianity does not worry me in the least should suggest to you just how inadequate I think your reasons for being a Christian are.

We should profile Muslims, or anyone who looks like he or she could conceivably be Muslim, and we should be honest about it.

I am one of the few people I know of who has argued in print that torture may be an ethical necessity in our war on terror.

It seems to me patently obvious that we can no more respect and tolerate vast differences in notions of human well-being than we can respect or tolerate vast differences in the notions about how disease spreads, or in the safety standards of buildings and airplanes.

When considering the truth of a proposition, one is either engaged in an honest appraisal of the evidence and logical arguments, or one isn't. Religion is one area of our lives where people imagine that some other standard of intellectual integrity applies.

We are all prisoners of our thoughts.
