What a Trumper thinks of Biden voters
The author of this Facebook post (photo below) was a dean and professor of business at a private college, Virginia Wesleyan University, but no longer works there. Read story here and here. As for me, a Biden voter, if this man has any standards I’d like to know what they are, because the man h[...]

SUNDAY REVELATIONS: Has Jesus Been Reborn?
Has Jesus been Reborn? About six years ago a 10-year-old girl was raped. This “Maria” may have fulfilled the prophecy of a virgin birth since she was too young for normal birth and was forced to give birth via C-section. We do not yet know if Maria’s son is the second coming. CHU[...]
SUNDAY REVELATIONS: HYPOCRISY IN STATUES
DOES INERRANCY REQUIRE HYPOCRISY? The Vatican unveiled its first new statue for St. Peter’s in 300 years. To be honest the statue seems to me to be fairly ugly .. a monstrous brick of bronzed poor people, crowded together amidst the glorified statues of saints and popes. The message, to me[...]

Trump counts evangelicals among his staunchest supporters, but mocks them behind their backs. Asked about it, a White House flack said, “The president is … well known for joking and his terrific sense of humor.” Huh??? Trump has a sense of humor? Trump refers to evangelical leader[...]
SUNDAY REVELATIONS:Of Nuns And Popes
Is Pope Frank for Real? In 2012, the Vatican accused U.S. nuns of taking up such “radical feminist themes” as social welfare and political action. The Romans saw income inequality as a distraction from Roman Catholicism’s issues of contraception, abortion and same-sex marriage. There[...]
