		<description><![CDATA[Bill O’Reilly, primetime gladiator, walks into a bar. Specifically, it’s an Irish pub. Bill is traveling, covering immigration in El Paso, Texas, and he’s thirsty. He pulls up a stool at the bar, orders a Guinness. The bartender pours it and hands it over.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a recent New Yorker article “The Case Against Empathy,” Paul Bloom warns us against using empathy – the act of putting oneself in another’s shoes – as our primary moral guide. Empathy indeed aids us in our personal relationships and in cases, such as the Newtown shootings, where there is an identifiable victim, but it does not help us to respond to other situations where victims are unidentifiable (e.g.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Without exception we all long for happiness&#8230; all agree that they want to be happy&#8230; They may all search for it in different ways, but all try their hardest to reach the same goal, that is, joy.” – St. Augustine, The Confessions
Augustine’s words here express a crucial truth: that all people are united by our search for happiness.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“What we need is… better art and better stories—better fictional worlds, by which I mean fictional worlds that rhyme with what is the case, with what is true yesterday, today, and forever,” says Alan Jacobs over at First Things. He is concluding his rather lengthy article comparing Lena Dunham’s HBO series Girls with Jane Austen’s novelMansfield Park.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In his book The Plot to Kill God, Paul Froese outlines the Soviet Union’s unsuccessful campaign to exterminate religion, drawing out the lessons we can learn from the campaign about the possibility of secularity. In order to completely remove religion from the socio-cultural landscape, Soviet authorities oppressed religious leaders and practitioners, strangled religious institutions, replaced religious rituals with secular versions, and waged rhetorical war on the legitimacy of religious belief in light of “scientific” progress.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an interesting read from Time Magazine, Mary Eberstat, author of this new bookon secularism, argues that “in the war over Christianity, orthodoxy is winning.” She uses a fight over an Episcopalian church in Virginia, in which a breakaway traditional group in the church lost its legal battle with the mainline sect for ownership of the church’s physical property, as an example of how orthodoxy is “winning”:

That traditionalist breakaway congregation in Virginia is larger than the one on the legally winning side — as in, much.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over at Mere O, Keith Miller has been kind enough to respond to a piece the FF editors published about Anthony Bradley’s praise of ordinary Christianity. In his post, Bradley lamented that “radical” or “missional” Christianity was obscuring the need for basic, everyday Christianity. He linked this misplaced zeal of “radical Christianity” to the anti-suburbs movement.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the end of yesterday&#8217;s post, the editors called for a renewed attempt to distinguish between ordinary Christianity and capitulation to contemporary American norms. I think this will sometimes take us in counter-intuitive directions. Yesterday&#8217;s post made reference to &#8220;anti-suburban Christianity&#8221; and praised those Christians who have raised concerns about the effects of the suburbs on virtue and the life of faith.&#8230;]]></description>
