ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors, who gave me a breath of fresh air.  Unfortunately, most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure BS. Fortunately, though, Ed saves the day. I may not see every line from side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him. 

By the way, if you're free, Ed broadcasts live on 1) most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm and 2) most Wednesday afternoons at 12:00 pm (Eastern time). (other time zones will vary) If you click on in the times indicated. you'll see a little bloggette in the upper corner indicating "Church Without Walls" and today's date.  Click in this area, and with luck, you'll be in!  The correct address will be:

ezs note:  Mr. and Ms. Franz - could I make a suggestion?  Rather than suing Oxford schools, hit the place where it would really hurt - the American division of Swiss Arms.  And don't make it a measly $100 million - make it a $100 billion.  Just a thought.
