Good Bye
Today is my last day at Beliefnet (which I co-founded in 1999). The swirling emotions: sadness, relief, love, humility, pride, anxiety.
But mostly deep, deep gratitude.
How many people get to come up with an idea and have rich people invest money to make it a reality? How many people get to create

Secularizing the Cross (Christian Activists: Be Careful What You Wish For)
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments this week, in Buono v. Salazar, about whether a white 6 1/2 foot cross can be displayed in a national park as a tribute to World War I soldiers. Though it's depicted as a classic clash of the secular and the religious, it actually illustrates why Christian act

“Grace” – and graciousness – these do not seem to be in the vocabulary or style of a certain party embodied by what is actually a very graceful and caring enormous mammal. They would do well to learn from their mascot (and animal “they”, or the pachyderm persuasion, choose not to protect even though the real animals are being killed by human encroachment and failing environments. But there isn’t any “global warming” anyway.)

Grace? While watching the RNC, I heard what I have known for years, there is no grace; there are only arrogance, meanness, violence, and mockery of anyone who differs from them. And then they try to say that they are better for America? That they exemplify our values? That they will bring ‘change’? Yeah. Riiiight…

Hmm… I have never heard any Republican mocking Obama for being the first African American presidential nominee. The incidences you cite are talking about Obama’s left leaning philosophy, which is a perfectly acceptable thing to talk about. You are falling for the trap that any criticism of Obama is based on Racism. This simply is not true. We just don’t care what race he is. We don’t like his policies. Looking at it that way, with one side wanting him to win based on his race, and the other not caring about his race, which side is racist?
