Control of alcohol not always due to religion

A pragmatic approach to alcohol distribution, taking into account the number of deaths caused by alcohol or alcohol related behavior, would be to limit and carefully monitor the availability of this substance that is so often abused. It need not have anything to do with religion.

Scriptures may offer help in difficult times

(UNEDITED)How dare Ryan Jenkins write an editorial promoting the reading of the scriptures! Doesn't he know this is not a politically correct declaration? Is he unaware of the great and continuous push by many to teach that faith and reliance in the Supreme Being is out, faith in government intervention in all things is in? Is he suggesting the scriptures have answers to our problems, when everyone knows it's to the Politicians we must look for help? Where did Ryan Jenkins get this kind of moxie? Furthermore, how could the Standard-Examiner allow such a commentary to be actually printed? Isn't there some kind of law against this, or some extrapolation of a law such as that because prayers and statements of faith in God are not allowed in schools, then perhaps they should not be allowed in newspapers either, because some school children might get hold of and read it?
