I would also like to say to Councilman Ed Shadid, in response to his remarks that they will be judged later: Sir, according to God’s word, you have already been judged by the vote you cast. There was no need for this vote. If there is any group in this city or our nation that […]

Bad move, Oklahoma City Council
I would also like to say to Councilman Ed Shadid, in response to his remarks that they will be judged later: Sir, according to God’s word, you have already been judged by the vote you cast. There was no need for this vote. If there is any group in this city or our nation that […]

In God’s name
What struck me as jaw-dropping was hearing ministers writing checks in God’s name. Not only is it presumptuous, but futile, as I suspect God will let them bounce. Maybe their actions, rather than “liberal Hollywood,” is the real reason why the number of people identifying themselves as Christian is in a steep decline. —Carl Owen […]

‘Hardly surprised’
I am hardly surprised at Tom Furlong’s endorsement of the “Kern-pone logic” that the July 6 issue thankfully lacked! Furlong has the commonly held dream of his sect: that his God is the “majority” and that a Bible full of fairy tales proves it. Millions of Muslims and Hindus disagree. And as to the number […]

‘Just asking’
While I do not consider love between any two people a sin, nor do I believe that God intervenes for or against nations or individuals, I challenge anyone fearful of God’s wrath to ask whether LGBT issues are really God’s top concern. What about America’s consumption of natural resources at rates far exceeding other developed […]

A response to ‘Stoning of Sally Kern’
She attempted this with failed legislation and through complaints to the Metropolitan Library Commission, which led to a series of heated public meetings. Take note of what this action signified: A public library is supposed to represent and serve the broad public. Materials are to be freely available and easily accessible. We live in a […]
