Om moralens privatisering
Världen idag - "Det är en i dag spridd uppfattning att en persons moraliska beteende ska bedömas utifrån vad han/hon själv tycker är rätt och fel. Ingen kan ju "tvinga på någon annan" sina egna "värderingar", sägs det."

”Vi riskerar att ta ett steg bakåt med hen”
Dagens Nyheter - "Den andra barnboken om ”hen” har skickats till tryckeriet samtidigt som debatten rasar för fullt i Sverige. Med sin bok vill författaren Anette Skåhlberg varna för att verkliga problem kan kringås genom användningen av ”hen”.
– Vi får inte ett mer jämställt samhälle genom att byta ut hon och han, utan vi riskerar att ta ett steg bakåt. I stället för att arbeta med att göra hon och han lika starka så använder man ”hen” för att slippa tänka på de problem vi egentligen har, säger hon."

Whitney Houston Remembered for Her Faith in Christ
Charisma News - "Whitney Houston was laid to rest on Sunday after a Saturday memorial service at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, N.J. Despite her struggles, her family and friends called out her faith in Jesus at the ceremony.

“I don’t care what was going on with her, I don’t care what it was, she stayed grounded in the Word,” Patricia Houston, the singer’s sister-in-law and manager, said at the funeral, according to transcripts of Piers Morgan Tonight on CNN.
“A friend … sent a note reminding us that our dear sister, aunt, mother, friend in Christ has been set free. Free from pain, free from sorrow, free from crying, free from sin, free from death. We will see her again but until then she rests peacefully in the Lord’s presence.” She went on to say that “the legacy that she left was music but what she left for you was her love for God and she had it and she was absolute, she was absolute about that.”

German Chancellor: New World Order Has Utterly Failed: Germany Returning To Its Christian Roots!
Political Vel Craft - "Chancellor Angela Merkel‘s declaration that Germany’s attempts to build a multicultural society had “utterly failed” is feeding a growing debate over how to deal with the millions of foreigners who call the country home.
The problem with multiculturalism, as the pope understands, is that it breeds contempt for the moral truths that undergird the Judeo-Christian ethos of Western civilization. Indeed, as the pope has said, it has led to “a peculiar Western self-hatred that is nothing short of pathological.”
One major reason why multiculturalism is a failure is its implicit moral relativism: all religions and cultures are seen as equals. But this means that those who adhere to Judeo-Christian values, and those who espouse a preference for Sharia law, are voicing a similar perspective. This is worse than nonsense: the former yields liberty and justice; the latter yields slavery."
