Given the human habit of unleashing violence in the name of God, perhaps I'm naive, but I tend to believe that the Christian religiosity that's the common currency of great swaths of our country generally does more good than harm, giving people a sense of purpose and community where they might not otherwise have either. But I'm talking mainly about what I call the "good" Jesus -- the Jesus o...

A rabbi, a folk singer and a sexologist walk into a...oh, forget it. It's just too easy.

Andrew Walmsley, the chairman of Stonewall FC, said the gay stars were staying quiet about their sexuality due to a deal of abuse from fans and fellow players.
Mr Walmsley, in an interview in today's Sun said, “...

If you are not a fanatic fan of the cinematic fantasyland, especially the body-transference genre in which a boy turns into an adult overnight, stop reading here.
Now that you've ignored the kind warning and decided to read on at your own risk, there's one more thing you have to do. What is the 1988 body-swap classic film in the United States? The BIG hint: Tom Hanks starred in it.

A shotgun-wielding hunter mercilessly pursues his target. Angry space aliens vaporize a defenseless town. A bloodthirsty shark preys on the weak and tiny.
These movie scenes aren't from the latest action thrillers — they're from G-rated animated films like Disney's new "Chicken Little."
As pop culture mimics today's permissive social values, violence and veiled sex...

I also figured out, after several years of sampling the gay lifestyle, that I'd better go straight if I wanted to get any work in the hurly-burly world of sports.

No one called for a boycott of the WNBA after Sheryl Swoopes announced she was gay. The league didn't ask for any of her MVP awards back. Her sponsors are still writing her checks.
Any initial surprise has quickly turned to a shrug of indifference, and even if the WNBA is not the NBA in terms of public appeal, that reaction shows how far society has come. And how far we still have to go....
