    Facebook Approved Religious Harassment Needs to Stop Now

    The Contemporary Gospel Of Sin and Me

    Should We Trust Iran?

    The new Iranian President Hassan Rouhani seems to have softened his tone towards Israel and, for the first time since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the president of the United States has had direct communication with the leader of Iran.

    Test Cases for Freedoms of Religion and Conscience

    Gay 'Bullies' Strike Again

But why should we surprised?
