For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Re: P J O'Rourke RIP. I miss him already
I remember him from his 'National Lampoon' days and some of the outrageous stuff he wrote there (like this one). I'm sure it was meant as satire, but back in those days, and with the bunch that was on the Lampoon's masthead at that time, you couldn't really be sure.
Glad to see that his legacy ended up covering far more than that.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

He is the only writer who ever made me think about voting Republican. (I quickly took a nap until the urge went away)

Re: P J O'Rourke RIP. I miss him already
I heard a short tribute to him on the NPR radio program "Wait,Wait; Don't Tell ME" yesterday. PJ O'Rourke announced when a panelist on that program that he was voting for Hillary Clinton, rather than Trump. "Hillary Clinton is WRONG on everything. But she is wrong within normal parameters."
