[...] the outcome was that a Dec. 25 Christmas became more popular but also caused embarrassment, as there had been no festival since Pentecost, seven months before; now there were two major ones only 12 days apart, just like London buses ("you wait for ages and then two come round the corner at once"). The discovery of the Nag Hammadi literature in 1945 and the Dead Sea Scrolls between 1946 and 1956, as well as various archeological findings confirming New Testament stories, have shone so much light on that period of history that it is now either plain ignorance, or wilful ignorance, to dismiss "the Christ event," as it is called, as just a fairy story.

These missteps have helped squander the potential goodwill of people in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan -- all countries that pose major threats to U.S. security, and all countries that once saw themselves as U.S. friends.

Today, rather than opening his hand to the people of Pakistan, [George W. Bush] is marching in lockstep with the country's fading dictator, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who is mockingly referred to as "Busharraf.

Many words have been used over the years to describe Vine Victor [Victor Deloria Jr.]-Author, scholar, lawyer, activist, educator, historian, political scientist and theologian. He has been called a visionary and a warrior, a radical and a mentor, a philosopher and a hero. Time magazine referred to him as one of the 11 greatest religious thinkers of the 20th century. Many of today's Indigenous leaders cite Deloria's written word as helping to inspire them to be involved and make a difference.
Deloria was born on March 26, 1933 in Martin, South Dakota near the Pine Ridge Oglala Sioux Indian reservation, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. His father was an Episcopalian minister, as had been his fathers father. Deloria's great-grandfather, Saswe, had been a medicine man who had bee...
