Worst case, the business closes its doors, but at least they'd have maintained their Godly values. As it stands, they all seem to sell their souls for thirty pieces of silver. Are there no steadfast Christians left in America?

I'm interested in soliciting ideas for a name for my katana. My favorite front-runner presently is Aletheia ("truth"). Do you have any suggestions you'd like to propose?

I complain about Christians often. I attack their beliefs, their practices, and their politics. Why? » read more »
