Believe It, or Not
From The New York Times. (Note: to view this article, you must establish your own individual account with the NYT company. Fortunately, it's free. Why they don't just turn on a "guest" account for viewing of free material, as The Wall Street Journal does, I'll never know this side of the Rapture.)

Nicholas Kristof is definitely no Christian, and strikes me as an agnostic at best. But as far as I can tell, he does not play fast and loose with fact or logic. You really do either believe it, or not!

He is afraid that America is becoming less intellectual and more mystical in its belief system. (Never mind that the intellectual foundations of atheism are crumbling, but that's another topic.) And at the last, he compares Christianity to Islam. I predict that the Beast [Revelation 13] will do the same.

And yet--if Kristof is afraid of "mystical" Christians, let him wait until he sees the False Prophet! [Revelation 13:8-18]
