“Tom Krattenmaker suggests that Tim Tebow should adopt a ‘more generous conception of salvation.’ And now we all know the price of being seen as ‘more generous.’ Just abandon the Gospel.

More than just religion, our literature and our politics and our music resonate precisely because they speak to these things” (WSJ)


“A survey of 16 to 24 year olds has found that 75% of them feel they ‘couldn't live’ without the internet” (BBC).
