Jack Nicholson was probably right. Tom Cruise couldn’t handle the truth.
Can you? Can I? Can we?
Claims about truth get thrown around like scud missiles.
Some in the church lament the loss of the day when we believed there was absolute truth (or should I say “Absolute Truth” 
and that we (the church) had it.

This is from A Peculiar Prophet, the blog of Bishop Will Willimon:
There may be sound arguments in favor of the Death Penalty. Unfortunately for us Christians, none of these arguments can be made on biblical or Christian theological grounds.
