Divinity and Politics

God is a Republican & Christ is a Democrat.

Christianity & Comic Books

If religious figures are anything like comic book figures, then Wolverine's character going from brooding individualist who does the dirty work to team leader and co-founder of the X-Men so as to replace Cyclops' roles makes me wonder if Judas was in fact the Messiah and Jesus was really a dickish anti-hero who got all the chicks until the story of his crucifixion became so popular that the Bible had to be rewritten for the sake of audience appeal.

Fiction & Politics

If we can use "24" as evidence in a political debate concerning torture, can we use "Superman" as evidence in a political debate concerning immigration or "Batman" as evidence in a political debate concerning gun control?

Traditional Marriage

I believe in the traditional view of marriage. I believe that I should be able to strike a deal with a father so that I can acquire his 15-year-old daughter, along with her 14-year-old and 13-year-old sisters, to be my brides and have the father give me a herd of goats for the trouble.
