Why We Need More Religion in Politics, Not Less

Last updated on: October 16, 2012 at 12:36 am By Timothy Dalrymple

Last week I received another expression of a very common sentiment in the comments box at Philosophical Fragments — and the commenter wished it known that she was “not a libertine” but a 50-year-old former-Christian woman with a long marriage and three children, two in the military. She wrote: George Bush and his supporters were a large reason that I left Christianity and have become quite hostile to the evangelical agenda. I vote against it at every opportunity and make sure...

Daily Fragments: Art, the Philosopher of Death, Dementia, Tentmaking and Hidden Wonders

Last updated on: October 15, 2012 at 10:40 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

Daily Fragments for 10/15/2012: Quotations The “Toxic Lie” of Dementia: “I believe that I am much more than just my brain structure and function, which is declining daily. My creation in the divine image is as a soul capable of love, sacrifice and hope, not as a perfect human being, in mind or body.” Blessed Are the Tentmakers: “In some strange way, our living room tent was a testament to the cells dividing in the dark of my wife’s...

Escaping the Rape Industry

Last updated on: October 15, 2012 at 12:46 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

NOTE: The following is a guest post from my sainted father, Galen C. Dalrymple, director at iam2.org, an organization devoted to crowd-sourcing compassion and empowering ministries serving the neediest children in the world. Recently the filmmakers of Not Today, along with my friends at Lovell-Fairchild, took my father to India to learn more about the film. He is an extraordinary man of God with a passion for these issues and stands at the helm of a faith-informed organization that can make a real... Read more

Last updated on: October 12, 2012 at 10:30 am By Timothy Dalrymple

Daily Fragments for 10/12/2012: Quotations The Parable of Botox: “Why, for example, did I presume to find fault with a woman getting Botox injections in her forehead yet think it was acceptable to pluck the hairs from my own face that threatened to create a caterpillar-like unibrow?” Philippians 4:13 – the Superman Verse: “The ‘superman’ rendering of this verse is all too typically American.

Biden’s HHS Mendacity

Last updated on: October 12, 2012 at 2:12 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

Earlier today I assailed Joe Biden’s incoherent view on abortion. His assertion regarding the HHS mandate was not so much morally incoherent as it was just blatantly false. I don’t mean “misleading” or “lacking context” or “a matter of perspective” or “it depends on your definition” (all of which seems to pass for “lying” in political discourse these days). I mean it’s simply, objectively, black-and-white false. Here were his words: “With regard to the assault on the Catholic Church, let... Read more

Joe Biden’s Remarkable Incoherence on Abortion

Last updated on: October 12, 2012 at 1:37 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

The ill-tempered aggression of Joe Biden — whether he was laughing and grinning in the first half or growling and shouting in the second — made the Vice Presidential debate last night a painful thing to watch. Biden was clearly eager to heed the call of Obama supporters to go on offense and attack Romney/Ryan. I suspect he was also eager to discard his popular image as a genial, slightly crazy uncle who keeps putting his foot in his mouth.... Read more
