Sunday morning, I watched the Republican nominee debate on Meet the Press.  It was the first time I’ve ever been interested in such a political event.  I loved it. Following the candidates’ challenges & responses was easy;  I found myself absorbed and enlightened.  Wow. But the best & most thrilling part, for me, was realizing that, [...](image)

All around the world, people are preparing to celebrate that Holiday of all holidays, Christmas.  Like the siren call of myth, the lure of yuletide activity is almost impossible to resist.  Even the Scrooges I’ve known, still, amidst their bah humbugs! usually join in the celebrations, one way or another.  Just about everyone finds him or her [...](image)

I know that it is the time of year for a Christmas post or two.  I have at least one in my heart, and hope it finds its way out onto this screen in time.  But for today…. Fox News and radio host Sean Hannity urges,  “If you want to find out how we can defeat [...](image)

A number of topics are contending for my attention here at ‘Jesus, the Revolution & You’.  Swatches of posts already written linger in my mind, and are prodding me to write more! write more!  But those particular posts & topics are not ones to be taken lightly.  I can’t dash off a quick article.  And extra hours at [...](image)

“…those who study…the American Revolution and the years immediately  following it cannot escape the conclusion that this was…one of the great periods of history in which to be alive.”   (Robert G. Athearn, A New Nation, American Heritage Illustrated History of the United States, Volume 4) We live our lives day-to-day, so many similar details & routines swallowing up [...](image)

Have the Islamists won after all? I accuse myself of being a Pollyanna.  Call it faith, hope, or positive thinking, but sometimes I still wonder if I’m just an ostrich with my head buried in the sand.  I hear the suggestions, predictions & innuendos, but I don’t let them penetrate.  Forging (or floundering!) blindly ahead, I [...](image)

…still Digging…taqiyyah & Christianitygodhistoryandyou

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 03:42:07 +0000

…so, last post I was “Digging Deeper…”  This time, I want to add a few observations.  Reading about  taqiyyah, the Shi’ite Muslim practice of ‘religious dissimulation’ or concealment, to preserve life or faith, certain points of similarity to Christianity struck me.  I am not advocating taqiyyah, just mentioning a thing or two that I noticed. The practice of  taqiyyah originates in the Qur’an, the Islamic [...](image)
