  • U.K.’s Most Likely New Leader Pledges to Outlaw “Islamophobia”

    By Selwyn Duke Perhaps he just wants to show he’s doubleplusgood, but the man who may be Britain’s next prime minister has pledged to stop at nothing to stamp out “Islamophobia.” Labour Party leader Ed Miliband (shown) — who now enjoys a slight lead in election polls — made the promise during an interview in…

  • How Christian Businessmen Can Combat the Homo-fascists

    By Selwyn Duke When the government tries to force businessmen to service affairs they find morally objectionable, their first instinct if they’re principled is defiance. Many have already taken this approach, including upstate New York farmers who face $13,000 in fines for refusing to host faux weddings on their property; and 70-year-old Washington state florist…

  • The Homosexual Agenda: CNN Reporter Ambushes Christian Florist

    By Selwyn Duke “You know, the Ten Commandments, it says you can’t commit adultery; it says you need to honor your father and mother. If someone didn’t honor their parents or commit[ed] adultery, would you serve them?” This question was posed by CNN reporter Gary Tuchman to Georgia florist Melissa Jeffcoat, who had previously said…

  • Republican Ruse? Indiana “Religious Freedom” Law Bait and Switch

    By Selwyn Duke Indiana Republicans possibly were trying to do their best impression of a cheap tent, but there perhaps hasn’t been such a quick folding since the collapse of the Maginot Line. The state’s Religious Freedom Restoration act, despite Governor Mike Pence’s feints to the contrary, was clearly intended to offer protection to bakers,…

  • New Research: What Do Americans Really Think About Jesus?

    By Selwyn Duke Christians may be under physical attack in much of the world and under legal attack in America, but Jesus Christ continues to inspire interest. Yet with modern portrayals of Him ranging from the reverent to the irreverent to the risible, what do Americans really think about Jesus? The Barna Group research company…

  • San Francisco Seeks to Punish Catholic Schools for Being Catholic

    By Selwyn Duke It’s ironic in a city whose name translates into “Saint Francis,” but the San Francisco government is apparently shocked and dismayed to learn that Catholic schools are supposed to be, well, Catholic. In the latest salvo against faith, some city supervisors are condemning San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone (shown) for seeking to…

  • Atheist Dawkins: Gov’t Must Protect Children From Religious Parents

    By Selwyn Duke Freedom of religion is a right treasured by many Westerners. But then there are those people who want freedom from religion — and atheism point-man Richard Dawkins is among them. In fact, not content just purging faith from public institutions, the biologist turned irreligious bad boy is now taking aim at families.…

  • Scott Walker Confused About Obama’s Religion — As Is Everyone Else

    By Selwyn Duke Americans have very little faith in Obama’s faith. In fact, accepting that he’s “Christian” seems a leap of faith many citizens are unwilling to take, say polls. And Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin (shown) appears no exception. Asked recently by two Washington Post reporters if Obama is a Christian, Walker replied, “I…

  • How to Win the Christian Baker/Same-Sex “Wedding” Cake Debate

    By Selwyn Duke A homosexual couple goes into a known Christian bakery and asks for a wedding cake for a same-sex “marriage,” is refused and then files a government complaint or sues. “Intolerance! Bigotry! Equal access!” is the cry. Many Americans have read of such stories in the news. Often the attempted purchase is a…

  • Terrible Deeds in Christ’s Name? Obama Displays Ignorance of History

    By Selwyn Duke Barack Obama (shown at National Prayer Breakfast) certainly makes his share of mistakes, from believing there’s a language called “Austrian” to claiming to have been to “57 states” to pronouncing “corpsman” “corpse-man” three times in the space of one minute. But while many of his displays of ignorance hurt mainly his own…
