Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

A Religious Idiot
Trump's VP pick is Gov. Mike Pence (R-Ind). He's a real piece of work.
I'm no religious scholar, but Jesus was all about welcoming sinners and everybody else, wasn't he?
Mainline Christian churches, sometimes referred to as High Churches, are those such as Catholics, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Methodists and other denominations with a hierarchy (i.e. bishops, priests, pastors, deacons). High Churches maintain that "church is for sinners".
Low Churches are those without a hierarchy, such as Baptists, Pentacostals, storefront ministries, and TV Evangelists. Low Churches are prone to requiring that you be "saved" or "purified" before you can enter their church. Occasionally, the process of "purification" involves money or sharing one's wife with the pastor.
This blog is offered as an amusement to any open-minded, liberal-leaning readers who may stumble upon it, and as an educational service to the closed-minded conservative crowd.
I hope you like it. If you don't, get your own blog.
