Read the tabs -- watch the tube -- if you want to know how a society that has lost its religiosity can still engage with the deities. The eerily appro...
I was astounded to see a news story this morning on the Today Show that President Obama's budget director Peter Orzag had a child out of wedlock -- was this considered news in 2010.?
What we need are more, not fewer Brit Hume's in the public square, each advocating for their ideas and beliefs.
Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate Christmas on January 7th (by Julian, rather than Gregorian calendar). My belated thoughts on the matter. Just on...
Al-Qaeda would like nothing better than for me and my fellow Saudi students to stay at home. But I won't allow Al-Qaeda to make me a victim in my own country and the country where I am pursuing my studies.
The obvious Christian bias would be astounding if not so disturbingly common. What if Woods was a Christian and Hume told Woods he should convert to Islam or Judaism for redemption?
We desperately need more reality in our lives. One reality is that religionists are no more infallible than the rest of us -- with a prime example confused ideas about human sexuality.

With the New Year let's refocus on the purpose of our blog. In short, it is for you to become a secret mystic, opening you up to a world of compassion, intimacy and bliss beyond what can be imagined.
I'm going to experiment with assigning myself only two jobs on Saturday -- going to yoga and reading The New Yorker.
Conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg asserted that religion is a natural, innate component to being human. All people, he claims, have a religious need or spiritual proclivity.
Maybe if the United States embraces India's multicultural philosophy it can prevent antagonizing other nations while dissuading our political adolescents from pursuing global prepubescent mishaps.
My experience, which is entirely personal to be sure, suggests to me, that sometimes when I sleep, I can contact deeper parts of me, aspects of my consciousness that might be called "of a higher nature."
As the new year begins, I'm sure many people have set grandiose goals for themselves that they are determined to meet, with diligence and hard wo...
Do you agree that our political leadership -- across the board -- and our talking heads -- Left and Right, let alone the mainstream media -- are mostly too jaded and/or cowardly to actually speak truth?
My late mother used shopping as a hobby. If she were still alive, I wonder if she would be looking for something else to occupy her time. It seems many Americans are.
