  • Oh, So Brave: Artists Afraid to Mock Moslems

    By Selwyn Duke Whenever an artist creates a work that impugns tradition or mocks Christianity, it is often said that he is "brave" for challenging the "status quo."  Of course, the status quo they’re challenging is that of bygone days, the one that, like an old soldier, didn’t die but just faded away.  Thus, these…

    By Selwyn Duke It’s so often the case today that the New Testament of the Bible is placed in the service of liberalism.  The leftists who do this often have never read it, but that doesn’t stop them from didactically quoting such  lines as "Do not judge lest you be judged"; of course, they never…

    Selwyn Duke Liberals we are and though we eschew its reason, Capitalize we will on the "Winter Break Season." It's good for making money and for spoiling offspring, But mention the Son and from the gallows you'll swing.

  • The Wanting Soul

    By Selwyn Duke If I had faith just the size of a mustard seed, Mountains would move at my command, And my walk with God would be as on concrete, And not the unsure footing of sand.
