I like some of the stuff on this blog. Here are a couple.
- Must Watch Video of Daniel Everette’s Deconversion.
About a Christian missionary who went to convert a tribe and in the process lost his own faith. (Posted Sept 2010.)
- What is Congress but a Fascist Organization? “The Congress at the present stage—what is it but a Fascist organization?

More to come.
As the song goes, ” . . . I’m leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again . . . ” I am off to strange and exotic places. For the first part of the journey, I will be in the East coast, arriving at Newark International on Friday and departing for Brussels next week Wednesday. Lots of places to see and people to meet. Here are the exciting details.
