  • HE IS RISEN!

    George Rebane Hearing that strong assertion, the Christian answers joyfully, ‘He is risen indeed!’ For us, Christmas is the promise, and Easter its fulfillment.  The summation of all Christianity is Christ’s covenant in the promised transcendence of Man, all concentrated into one simple declaration – ‘He is risen!’  Without this, our faith is a fraud;…

  • Secular humanists need religion too, but …

    George Rebane There was an interesting essay in the 18/19feb12 WSJ adapted from Alain de Botton’s latest book Religion for Atheists: a Non-believers Guide to the Uses of Religion.  It is really a lament about all the things that atheists are missing out on that come to people of faith who gather to worship their…

  • A Reader’s Complaint Answered

    George Rebane Mr Ben Emery is a regular RR reader who vigorously defends his Left/liberal ideology in these pages.  He recently issued a complaint about the content, viewpoint, and perhaps the form of this weblog.  His general lament is that RR’s scope of topics is too narrow and doesn’t cover the substance of the ideas…

  • Islamophobia – a rational response? (updated 1sep2011)

                            Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.  R. Clay Reynolds George Rebane As these pages long attest, for me the answer to the title question is a resounding YES.  And our western governments aid and abet that as being the reasonable response.  The progressive tsunami of proscribing anyone who evinces fear of Islam ranges from Mayor…

  • Ruminations – 10dec2010

    George Rebane Yes, the ‘rich’ can pay more taxes.  But when you make them do that, they will make fewer wealth generating decisions and take the attendant risks that make those increased government revenues possible. - British students riot for more OPM- The religious give more than the irreligious- Nevada City protects its downtown businesses- Where to put the…
