Al Franken and Christianity
Just imagine the political decapitation if a candidate for the U.S. Senate had written something this disparaging of the Religion Of Peace and its prophet.
C.S. Lewis on Politics Part 2

C.S. Lewis on Politics Part 1

—from The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment, God in the Dock
