Leave it to The New York Times to equate religious belief with mild dementia. Check that. What they are really offended at is the thought of an intellectual having a Christian worldview. This must drive them nuts.

We live in a day when David Letterman can confess on air to having multiple affairs with staff women and there isn’t one peep from women’s rights groups. In fact, his first show after that confession was a ratings gold mine! But actually hold a Christian worldview as an intellectual, and you’re branded as loony. Go figure.

What else doesn’t figure is the lack of moral fortitude on the part of evangelicals concerning the healthcare reform debate. They have plenty of moral fortitude when it comes to funding abortions. Yet, there is no moral outcry over the current Bacchus bill and how it will bankrupt the middle class.

To be fair, we as evangelicals also aren’t very vocal when it comes to the healthcare debate outside very narrow parameters. If it doesn’t have to do with abortion or legalizing homosexual marriages, we just don’t seem to have an opinion.

We have officially passed the one trillion dollar point on war funding. Eight years. One trillion dollars. I support our troops. I’d love to win this thing. But I can’t help but noticing a couple of things:

1. Oil company profits and private contracting firm profits that do business over there are through the roof. We’ve done some favors in some areas we just didn’t need to help out in.

2. One trillion dollars is about what we’re going to fork over for healthcare.

Does anyone notice this huge hole in the ground? Anyone?

But that’s just too much to think about. What I REALLY want to talk about is the best baseball game that will be played this year. Game 163 of the regular season: Detroit and Minnesota. Twins win in 12. The Dome lives on for at least another game or two!
