Good reference. I am now reading "The Bible Unearthed" by Finkelstein and Silberman which discusses related research. Considering all the great and substantial religions of the world and the provable time they have been in existence, it always strikes me as laughable the sway that Judeo-Chrisitian religions have on the planet. Really, it would be just as reasonable to believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny or an honest politician. Just sayin'.
Obama seems to have a high degree of tolerance for this type of thing. Regardless, it really evades my imagination why he would sit down with Mr. O’Reilly yet tell folks "you go have a drink with Mitch McConnell?" I guess the broadcaster somehow has more utility for the president than the politician.
What a well considered and well reasoned essay. Thank you. As "half a Jew" with a Scottish mother and a Russian Jewish father I feel these issues quite personally. The more light is provided for the discernment of all, the better. Mahalo.
Ted Nugent is a legend in his own mind. Let's not encourage him by added digital attention. With Mr. Nugent WYSIWYG. Lovely.

Mahalo for once again speaking truth to power.
Mahalo for this fair and calm analysis.
Ted Nugent is a legend in his own mind. He is a simple minded fellow who likes guns more than people.
