Newsweek Slams 'Theological Bully' Franklin Graham, Tilting His Politi
Newsweek religion editor Lisa Miller wrote a story on "The Fight Over Billy Graham's Legacy," but the most notable thing that comes out of it is Miller's loathing of Rev. Franklin Graham (no relation). Miller clearly believes he's mangling his father's moderation, especially when it comes to Islam:
Franklin — who’s been accused of being a rhetorical and theological bully, saying, for example…
WaPo Critic Hails Novel 'Re-Imagining' Jesus As Bisexual Free-love Adv
Novelist and infamous liar James Frey has a new novel out, "The Final Testament of The Holy Bible," which he pompously holds forth as a "theoretical third volume of the Bible" that conceives of a second coming of the Christ in the person of "an alcoholic bisexual living in the Bronx who impregnates prostitutes, titillates priests and becomes the ultimate seducer himself," John Murray of the…
WaPo Overlooks Boehner Speech, Highlights Students Asking the Speaker

Sally Quinn Asks 'Does God Hate Women
"Thank God for Jimmy Carter. He takes on the tough ones."
That's how "On Faith" moderator Sally Quinn ended her April 26 post "Does God hate women?"

Time Highlights Letter: 'Hell = Spending Eternity with Evangelicals
Time magazine is so biased that it even slams conservative Christians in the letters to the editor. Former Newsweek editor Jon Meacham's piece on pastor Rob Bell asking "Is Hell Dead?" apparently drew only one letter of opposition worth printing. Here's the one Time put in bold, large type:
"Hell is easy to define. It would be spending eternity with evangelicals." -- Don Koons, DALLAS…

Bozell Column: An Easter Bonnet of Mud
For the Christian faithful, the week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday is sacred. It’s a time of reflection and prayer and fasting. It is Holy Week. It deserves the strongest respect.
