Christianity teaches that this life is not the only life, and there is a final judgment in which all earthly accounts are settled.
I would argue that the issue of God and the issue of science have the same roots.
The allegation of some progressives that America is an evil empire is not simply wrong – it is obscene.
Life after death is the elephant in the living room, the one that we are not supposed to notice.
I don’t want reporters to talk to me because I’m a revolutionary and if it got out that I’m basically friendly with Obama it would hurt Obama.
Atheism, not religion, is the real force behind the mass murders of history.
Barack Obama is the most antibusiness president in a generation, perhaps in American history.
Christianity is the very root and foundation of Western civilization.
Liberal Christians are distinguished by how much moral and intellectual ground they can concede to the adversaries of Christianity.
And who can deny that Stalin and Mao, not to mention Pol Pot and a host of others, all committed atrocities in the name of Communist ideology that was explicitly atheistic.

Christianity enhanced the notion of political and social accountability by providing a new model: that of servant leadership. In ancient Greece and Rome no one would have dreamed of considering political leaders anyone’s servants. The job of the leader was to lead.

Progressive racism is dedicated to uplifting poor blacks to a certain point and then keeping them there. The proof is that poor blacks today are about as poorly off as they were a half-century ago, when the progressive schemes of black uplift went into place.

This, I suggest, is by design.
