Interesting disparities in the cost of spreading the Gospel around the world. The expenditures per person baptized in the U.S. are 109 times greater than for someone in Africa.
And the cost in Antarctica is even higher. Lousy penguins! Just kidding. This little guy (“Bumblebee”) converted, by the way.
Seriously, it gives one pause as to how to distribute evangelism $$ and resources in the wisest way. Of course I support evangelism activities in the U.S., but I prefer to donate a significant portion of our contributions to international organizations.

2008 resolutions of the televangelists - great commentary! If these guys and gals would drop off of TV it would probably do more to advance Christianity than any evangelistic effort. (Hat tip: Kevin)

Sneering vs. arguing – Christopher Hitchens may be intelligent but he uses horrible reasoning.

If you haven’t seen Theobromophile’s fantastic picture of the rainbow and “Golden Capitol” at the end of the March for Life, be sure to check it out. (Yes, there really was a march, though the MSM forgot to tell us about it).

Love the resolutions -very entertaining.
Thank you for the link.
There’s a few pictures that really show the scope of the March. Absolutely incredible to see… and it shows that the pro-life viewpoint is NOT out of the mainstream of America. Now, if 1/10th as many people showed up to protest the war, or bring attention to baby seals, the MSM would have been all over it.
