I have repeatedly asked some of you to please not bring up irrelevancies or, in particular, non sequitur snide references to religion. I will no longer edit such comments. I don’t have the time. I have commenced trashing them. If the offenses continue, I will blackball the commenter without bothering to read the comments.
I welcome opposing comments to my perspectives. Indeed, they help make SHS a better place and challenge my own thinking, which I appreciate. But there are plenty of people who engage respectfully, relevantly, and forcefully, without offending my basic and easy to follow ground rules. I don’t mind sharp elbows, particularly when they are poked into my ribs. But, I don’t have the time to teach preschool. Those who just want to lash out, please feel free to start your own blog or go elsewhere to work out your obsessions. You are not going to do it here.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
