US Christian conservatives drop references to slave trade and sideline Thomas Jefferson who backed church-state separation

Cynthia Dunbar does not have a high regard for her local schools. She has called them unconstitutional, tyrannical and tools of perversion.

Although I believe a lot of what is going on here is a great step in the right direction...

Hume forecasts Woods will recover as a golfer but

...Whether he can recover as a person depends on "his faith. He's said to be a Buddhist. I don't think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redeption that is offered by the Christian faith. So my message to Tiger would be, "Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world." (READ FULL STORY)
