Cal Thomas, himself a committed evangelical Christian, has written an obituary for the Religious Right. His point, which he makes very well, is that, for thirty years or more, many evangelical Christians, some with national TV or radio pulpits, have been trying to change the US through the ballot box.
It hasn't worked. It won't work. It shouldn't work.
Thomas suggests another way. He's not the first.
The way to change the US is through -- radical thought! -- being like Christ, to those around us.
Amen.
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.

Thanks, julana.
The power of thought is stronger than the majority of the population realizes.
Thanks, barbara martin. Being like Christ is a radical thought, and it's powerful.
