IO 70: The Gospel for 21st Century Sodom
Regarding “gay marriage” the brilliant New York Times social commentator, Ross Douthat, is batting .500. He is right that present society will not be able to refuse it.

IO 69: Without God, All Things are Permissible

Marxism and Racism: The Issue Is Never the Issue
