That's a difficult question for many to read. It could mean, possibly, this author believes Jesus was not real or at least has doubts as to the existence of a Jesus. And maybe that is why the question is put the way it is. After all, it is less of a hook to ask, "What if Jesus wasn't real?"In the past few years, Internet scholarship has become a cottage industry -- the more so with the advent of print-on-demand self-publishing. Anyone who can afford it can now publish a book based on his or her "scholarship." We see this almost constantly with the advent of new "ideas" such as Jesus was the King of Egypt, or Jesus was an alien, or worse -- Jesus isn't real, just a story told like other divine imaginations, to help out one person or another in achieving something of an ethical collusion, or mythicism.More...

By today's standards my political views are considered liberal, perhaps even far to the left of center. Yet just a few decades ago I would have been (and was) labeled a moderate or even slightly right of center for holding the same positions I hold today. The radicalization of the right has skewed our political landscape: a moderate outlook compared to the extremism of Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin or Ron Paul seems downright leftist. Much of what is bunched together as liberalism is really centrism that has been artificially shifted left when compared to the fanaticism of the religious right.Centrism is easy enough to define. We seek a secular government as small as possible, but no smaller than necessary for proper function; a fair, equitable, and simplified tax system, a strong and lean military capable of meeting modern threats to our security, robust protection of civil liberties and voting rights, and a level field in which everybody plays by the same rules as we strive to better our lives.More...
