--Democrats picked up a House seat in what some called a referendum on the Ryan budget
--41% of Americans think that Jesus will return by 2050 -- yet white mainline Christians (by a better than 2-1 split) disagree
--30% fewer people listen to Rush Limbaugh than did so six months ago
--What do you suppose the Vatican will decide this weekend about the legitimacy of condoms to prevent the spread of HIV?
--Mainline Protestants have larger hippocampi than either born-again Protestants or Roman Catholics
--Presbyterians in Scotland have followed their PCUSA brethren in taking steps toward fuller inclusion of LGBTQ clergy in the life of the church
--Very interesting bit discovery (thanks to Mark Sisk) about Ayn Rand, whom I had previously been wondering about. It turns out that some big-name Christians (like Chuck Colson) aren't a fan of her works either, and they have quite a lot to say about how her objectivist philosophy strikes squarely against Christianity. Hence, they are not too thrilled with the fawning adulation that she has recently been receiving at the hands of the GOP.
