“From the 9th to the 15th centuries, the area which is now modern Spain was home to the greatest peaceful agglomeration of cultures ever known in the post-literate worldEven more remarkable than the flowering of art itself was the confluence of cultures that produced it: under the rule of Islam, Muslims, Jews and Christians lived and worked together in relative harmony.” ArtHomeChristianTogetherCultureKnownModernCenturyAreasHarmonyIslamJewPeacefulPostsRemarkableRelativeSpainFloweringConfluence Author:Maya Beiser
“Almost by definition, secularism cannot be a future: it's a present-tense culture that over time disconnects a society from cross-generational purpose. Which is why there are no examples of sustained atheist civilizations. "Atheistic humanism" became inhumanism in the hands of the Fascists and Communists and, in its less malign form in today's European Union, a kind of dehumamism in which a present-tense culture amuses itself to extinction. Post-Christian European culture is already post-cultural and, with its surging Muslim populations, will soon be post-European.” KindHandsTodayChristianFormPurposeCultureExampleCivilizationCrossesUnionsAtheistHumanismPopulationDefinitionsPostsCommunistExtinctionSecularismTenseFascistsEuropean UnionAtheisticPresent Tense Author:Mark Steyn
“problematic within post-Reformation dogmatics. Is faith something I `do' to earn God's favour, and, if not, what role does it play? Once we release Paul's justification-language from the burden of having to describe `how someone becomes a Christian', however, this is simply no longer a problem. There is no danger of imagining that Christian faith is after all a surrogate `work', let alone a substitute form of moral righteousness. Faith is the badge of covenant membership, not something someone `performs' as a kind of initiation test.” IfsKindDoePlayProblemChristianFormLanguageMoralRolesDangerTestsBurdenReleasePostsRighteousnessSubstitutesJustificationFavourCovenantReformationChristian FaithBadgesMembershipInitiationSurrogates Author:N.

“The faith engaged with Platonism in the ancient world, with Aristotle in the medieval world, with nominalism in the Reformation era, and with rationalism in the modern world.

“If conservatives come to control the White House and both Houses of Congress, there will be very little change in Hollywood, the network evening news, universities, church bureaucracies, the New York Times, or the Washington Post.

“There is a calamitous difference between a people who have been immersed in paganism for centuries and a post-Christian society.
