    On Ben Franklin’s Letter to an Atheist0

    Benjamin Franklin’s feelings on God and religion were complicated. While it’s true that Franklin believed in God and saw great benefit in religion, he himself (as I’ve written before) had an aversion to church services (or at least services led by dull pastors).

    On Americans On Islam0

    • November 25, 2015

    Americans, oh Americans. It seems that Americans today are in a frenzy over Islam – and what we hear is that either Islam is a great, peaceful, edifying religion with a few wingnut freaks (similar to Westboro Baptists, etc.), or that, say, something like one in three Muslims is teaching their 7 year-old how to

Unfortunately for athletes in these two sports, their commitment to wokeness and the language of equity is increasingly backfiring, so much so that I have found their recent Olympic adventures delectable.

    Olympe de Gouges, Heroine of the French Revolution0

    Despite the tendency of French historians to depict the events of 1789-1799 in a more favorable light than they deserve, heroes of the ghastly French Revolution are few in number. Hundreds of thousands of people perished in a decade-long spasm of violence, tyranny, hyperinflation, and war – with precious little to show for it. Britain’s Glorious
