Anne Rice’s Website
If you have been reading Anne Rice’s novel, Christ the Lord : Out of Egypt or if you have been reading about it, you might also be interested to discover that she has a website. Go here.
I don’t share Ms. Rice’s political views. And since she is Roman Catholic, I’m sure we’d disagree in [...]
New Modified Template
If you’ve visited here before, you may notice that I’m tinkering with my template. Right now, it looks fine to me, but please alert me if anything does not appear right on your browser.
Let me draw your attention to a new feature. In the left side-bar, scrolling down about half way, you’ll see [...]
"Christ the Lord" by Anne Rice
I have been reading the new novel by Vampire Chronicler Anne Rice. Newly re-committed to her Roman Catholic faith, Ms. Rice has written an intriguing book told in the first person by a 7 year old Jesus. She has clearly done her research and presents her subject in a remarkably reverent, orthodox and [...]
Joel Osteen or Jesus
Joel Osteen is pastor of the fast-growing Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. He promotes a prosperity gospel which is no gospel at all. His is the gospel of self-esteem. The Christian Research Journal published a helpful article, which you can find here, about his latest book. To sum it up, Osteen is a false [...]

Voluntary Human Extinction Movement
Do you believe that the planet earth is becoming over-populated? Do you worry that there may not be enough resources to sustain the burgeoning population? Then you may be interested to know about the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. This movement does not advocate murder, forced-sterilization, suicide or genocide. But it does encourage people simply to [...]
The Kingdom of Heaven – Worst Movie on Earth
Yesterday, we watched Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven and, in spite of the director’s angelic last name, it was terrible. The worst movie on earth. Maybe on Mars there are worse movies. Or maybe there is a worse piece of celluloid toilet-paper in the astral plane between heaven and earth, but this is the [...]
Veith on Veggie Tales
Over at the Cranach blog, Dr. Gene Veith offers a few good thoughts on current trends in Christian videos for children. See here. Since we recently covered new Veggie Tales products here on the Burr, I thought I’d chime in.
Dr. Veith reviews a few of the current products and then ends with what [...]
