“…among whom licentiousness was taken for gaiety and cheap cynicism for intelligence.”
-Fyodor Dostoevsky, Demons
At the beginning of the year I’ll teach a ten-week online class on Dostoevsky’s “Demons.”
It’s not for the faint of heart.
Try wolc.com/demons and you might find more info.

There is no Christian theology or eschatology that can justify man-made starvation.
Even if people are viewed as enemies, the Scriptures still tell us what to do:
“If your enemies are hungry, feed them.”
The baptized have pledged their allegiance to Jesus Christ, not the Pentagon or the IDF.
