No! No! UFO

Last updated on: December 19, 2023 at 10:00 pm By Ted Peters

No! No! UFO. That's what the U.S. Senate said to scientists clamoring for passage of the UAP Disclosure Act. But, take heart. Secretly, we know or at least hope that the Pentagon has become omnipotent by harnessing the more advanced technology reverse engineered from crashed alien spacecraft. Read more

Sin-Talk and Grace-Talk

Last updated on: December 3, 2023 at 12:41 pm By Ted Peters

Anti-White Christian Nationalism

Last updated on: April 15, 2024 at 9:55 am By Ted Peters

The American Academy of Religion just offered a well-attended and fascinating panel on "The Threat of Christian Nationalism" to democracy. Survey data was interpreted to support the thesis that America's evangelical Christians tout white supremecy. Frankly, I don't think the data supports this thesis. I suspect that my progressive Christian friends are covering up their scapegoating of evangelicals. What do you think? Read more
