Christians should cebrate Christian holidays

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The pagan feast of Halloween is foreign to Christian tradition and has become a superstitious and empty way of imposing mindless triviality.
The day has its origin in the Celtic New Year which celebrated the return of the spirits of the…

The pope should stay out of Anglicans’ lives

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Why can’t the Vatican just keep out of Protestants’ lives? If Episcopalians want to convert to Catholicism, I’m sure they can figure out how that works.

Europe is largely Catholic, yet very few Europeans attend church with any regularity. Maybe the…

Governments could increase revenue by taxing religious institutions

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I’d like to suggest a way local governments could increase their revenues in these dark economic times. This suggestion would also do away with our country’s false notion of the separation of church and state.
 
Churches, synagogues and temples — in fact,…

Tolerance for everything but faith

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
It appears that “tolerance” has a separate meaning to each situation these days.    Now it means we are to be tolerant of others, no matter what their actions, even if they harm society as a whole, but that same “tolerance”…

Any expression of faith is bound to upset someone

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Is this the silly season?

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Is this the silly season, or has someone contaminated our water supply with a lunacy virus?

Did anyone at the Culinaria tell Lori Weinstock that she was not welcome, or that she could not spend her money there, or that she…

Let’s not be insecure in our beliefs

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Are we so insecure about our beliefs these days that we profess outrage and threaten boycott because an employee chooses to display a personal symbol of faith at his workplace?  Our First Amendment rights afford us the luxury of expressing…

Modern people think like their medieval ancestors

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The story, “New Rift may shift Lutherans,” (August 30) reveals the folly of religion. While the religious bicker about the ramblings of ancient people who had no science (I refer to the collection of writings known as the Bible), massive…

When one priest is accused, the whole church is stained

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“Is puzzlement,” said the King of Siam.  If a coach/teacher abuses a student, to the best of my knowledge, the Board of Education or the particular school is not attacked.  Is puzzlement.  If a Protestant clergy person abuses someone, the…
