No doubt this will get the conspiracy theorists going again ... but President Obama came out swinging in favour of a mosque near Ground Zero in Manhattan. In fact at an iftar at the White House last night, he pointed out that Jefferson hosted a similar dinner for the Ambassador from Tunisia -- more than 200 years ago, in the same house, and making a point of waiting until after sunset with Jefferson realizing it was Ramadan. (And in a speech last year, Obama also noted that Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, took his oath on Jefferson's copy of the Koran.)
Take that, "Christianites"!

Hey Patrick,
What happened to your "Disciple of Christ" desription?
It was time to update it, as I have been for some of my other spaces (including at Facebook). I still consider myself a disciple of Christ but lately I've found I've tripped so much in my walk that I need to consider how much of one I am.
Sorry Robert, I got your name wrong.
Don't give up on Jesus! He can offer you eternal life whereas the Liberal party can't.
