A strong case can be made for religious leaders to speak out on political issues.

I am not suggesting that all those missionary organizations working in Haiti should pack up and go home, but I am urging them to understand that Haiti does not need clever Americans with newly contrived schemes for saving their country.

Religion, for better or for worse, has been politicized in blatant ways that have seldom been equaled in American elections.

There is no doubt that religion had already waned under the onslaught of the Enlightenment, but it was Freud who provided the radically new understanding of human nature that made any religious explanation of the whats and whys of our personhood seem naive.

Nowhere in the Hebrew Scriptures does it say that God is omnipotent.

If America is too arrogant, too prideful to repent, it's not the kind of country that God wants it to be.
