Does Protestantism Stand for Anything?

Tallrite Blog last month asked, "Does Protestantism Stand For Anything?" Pointing to a funeral held at a Presbyterian cathedral in Scotland for an avowed atheist, where among other things, another atheist was permitted to give the eulogy from the pulpit and a Muslim delivered one of the readings, Tallrite concludes that it does not.

Tallrite sums up what apparently he believes is, or perhaps is becoming, its reigning ethic:

Anything goes; do whatever you want; its teachings are important only if you like them; divorce is not allowed but you can do it; ditto abortion; forgiveness is available without even asking; there is no hell for wrong-doers only heaven for everyone, good bad, believer or non-believer.

Returning From My Sabbatical

Shortly after the birth of my first child, a son, I ceased posting to this blog. Two months after his birth I started my own law practice. Needless to say, I have been busy. I'm going to attempt to resume regular posting. We'll see if I can find the time.
