| Freedom of speech going too far |
| source: The Daily O'collegian, September 2, 1998 Kristen Jones Kristen Jones is a public relations senior from Oklahoma City. I think of myself as a journalist, in some odd way. Because of this, I value freedom of speech and expression just as much, maybe more, than anyone else on this campus. But this "Preacher Bob" has taken things a little too far. Spreading the word of God is one thing, but to condemn a person to hell because she is in a sorority or was a cheerleader is completely wrong and judgmental. |

| Psalm 2:8 |
| source: Townhall.com, February 12,2007 By Harry R Jackson Jr. Could it be that Christian Jihad is the only way to stop the blood-seeking radical, Islamic movement? A revival of bedrock Christianity, such as the brand of faith seen in the book of Acts, is our only hope of stopping the advance of violent anti-west radicals. This Christian response may require the mobilization of Christian missionaries that are willing to risk their lives for the cause of Christ. |
