[quote]Many people can rattle off battles from WW2 or the War Between the States for example, but hardly anyone talks about our recent battles in the desert. Different type of warfare? Public doesn’t care as much? [/quote] The vast majority of battles our nation has fought since the end of Wo...

For all of you religious television nuts out there, I think I've found a good one for you. The Chosen is a 100% crowdfunded series that has been greenlighted for seven seasons. It's the story of Jesus of Nazareth seen through the eyes of the people who knew him. Despite it being crowdfunded, the ...

[quote]Not convinced this tweet shows us "losing our minds"? [/quote] I think the point I was making is that if we don’t believe the testimony of these women - regardless of our religious beliefs - then we are prejudiced for doubting them. If it’s a troll this is genius and your point is valid...

Some soy boy on Twitter named Timothy Isaiah Cho has taken the feminazi movement into the New Testament with an Easter tweet that announces to the universe that we are, as a species, losing our freaking minds: [quote]Denying the bodily resurrection of Christ is a refusal to believe women of color...

[quote]indiscriminate mass murder is wrong, no matter when it happened, that's what i'm trying to get at... religiously motivated or not... [/quote] The Crusades weren't mass murder. They were military conflicts between two warring groups of people attempting to take control of land in the Midd...

[quote] But the central theme was the crucifixion.[/quote] Incorrect. The central theme of Christianity has always been the resurrection. If the resurrection never happened, Christianity is a false religion and there is no salvation for us after death. If not for the resurrection, Jesus is...

The goal of the Crusades was entirely justified. The Seljuk Turks were within months of taking down the Byzantine Empire. If Eastern Christianity fell, it's a good bet that Western Christianity would follow in a few generations. When Pope Urban II called the First Crusade in 1095, it came after o...

Three churches and three upscale hotels were targeted by as yet named terrorists. It is reported that 50 Christian worshippers are dead in one church alone. The true extent of the casualties will not be known for some time. The official death tally as it stands now is 290. All six locations w...

I don't know if it's true, because it's the internet and you can't trust anything. But the dude had 7 no-hitters. That's the stat everyone knows. What I didn't know, is that Ryan had 5 more no-hitters that were finally broken up in the 9th inning. That's pretty freaking crazy. ...

I was at school. I didn't hear about what had happened until I got home and saw it on the news. ...

In fairness, Fortress Monroe was occupied by Union forces for pretty much the entire war. That arch commemorating Jefferson Davis wasn't even erected until 1956. What purpose or significance does it hold to the site? And this is coming from someone who abhors the removal of monuments to historic ...
