This year, many agency heads in the Trump administration sent out official Christmas messages with explicitly religious as opposed to universal spiritual messages. So for example, War Secretary Hegseth said, “Today we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.” This is just one more example of the Trump administration’s distortion and perversion…

When Justice Alito was in Rome the other week to partake in the Church’s Jubilee, he noted several cases that have come before the Supreme Court. One allowed parents with religious objections to withdraw their children from classes when storybooks with LGBTQ themes were discussed. There is no question that today the Catholic Church does…

In the texts cited by the prosecutors in charging Tyler Robinson for the murder of Charlie Kirk, while he clearly did the deed, which in itself is a radical act, there was nothing in the texts that showed he was motivated by radical, progressive, or leftist thinking. Instead, I would call his thinking very Christian,…

In order to receive the tax benefits of being recognized as a nonprofit organization by the IRS, one of the restrictions required by the Internal Revenue Code is that such organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate…

What are we to make of this? Buddhism teaches that we are all born with a luminous mind, with the true Buddha nature…

I have been a practicing Buddhist for 25+ years. During that time, my practice has deepened, I am one with the true Buddha nature inside me (well, almost), and I share my faith and knowledge with others through my Buddhist blog, http://www.thepracticalbuddhist.com, and through the several books I have written. It has been reaffirming for…

Anti-semitism is not new to the United States. It has always been here, sometimes more openly than others, but it’s always been part of the social puzzle. Until the end of WWII, anti-semitism was very much in the open. There was nothing politically incorrect about it. Whether one looked at restrictive covenants in real estate development that prohibited…

I was reading a book the other day that happened to quote two verses from the Bible that just stopped me in my tracks, realizing what a failure not only we are as humans but what a failure religion has been in leading its flock. The verses were: “For what shall it profit a man…
