Monday Morning Round Up

Hugo Schwyzer on moving towards veganism as part of a consistent ethic of life.

Jim Henley on why he’s still a libertarian:

What I come back to everytime is that I am viscerally anti-bully and government still seems like the biggest bully around. I don’t believe government is inherently a force for good. I do not accept that democracy is a process by which “we” govern “ourselves.” I believe it is a process by which a larger group imposes its will on the smaller, and the most energetic and glib busybodies impose their will on the larger. …

Josh at Armagideon Time writes in defense of Constantine:

In seminary, one thing many students and professors were found of saying was that Constantine’s conversion to Christianity was good for Constantine, bad for the church. I believe nothing could be farther from the truth. Constantine was the best thing that could happen to the church.
